Ordering a Transcript: W.D. Wisconsin Bankruptcy

Step by Step

How to order

1. Choose a provider from the court-approved list.  LunarScripts is on the list.
2. Complete the court’s own Transcript Request Form, naming your provider, the hearing, the delivery speed, and any appeal number.
3. ECF filers file it with the “Request for Transcript” event; everyone else hand delivers or mails it.  The court does not take fax, email, or phone requests.
4. The court forwards the hearing information to your provider.
5. Pay the provider directly before the transcript is released, unless other arrangements are made before production.

Good to Know

Rates, audio, and deadlines

Transcript fees follow the Judicial Conference maximum rates effective October 1, 2024: $4.40 per page for 30 day delivery, $5.10 for 14 day, $5.85 for 7 day, $6.55 for 3 day, $7.30 for next day, and $8.70 for 2 hour, with lower rates for copies.  The first party to order pays the original rate; later requesters pay the copy rate.

Audio copies cost $34 per MP3 or CD and are usually ready in about 2 business days, but audio is not acceptable for appeal purposes.  For an appeal, the appellant submits a transcript order under Bankruptcy Rule 8009.
