- Note: If you are receiving government aid (Medi-Cal, CalFresh, CalWorks, etc), you only need to fill out the top section of the Request to Waive Court Fees form (FM-001).
- Check the box #5a asking why you are filling the form out and mark the governmental aid you are receiving, and sign at the bottom of the form to have it processed.
- You will receive an Order on Court Fees Waiver (FW-003) telling you if your request was granted (approved) or denied.
- The Order will explain how to proceed. Act quickly – you only have 10 days from the date the Order is mailed to you to comply with the Order or exercise your options if your request was denied.
- Failure to act may result in the cancellation of any documents that you submitted.
