North Carolina Certification By Debtor is a document used by the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State to verify a debtor's identity. This document is required when a debtor wishes to file a petition for debt relief in the state. It contains information such as the debtor's name, address, social security number, and other identifying information. The Certification is issued as a card or letter and must be presented to the court prior to filing any type of debt relief petition. There are two types of North Carolina Certification By Debtor: the "Debtor Certification Card" and the "Debtor Identification Letter". The Debtor Certification Card is issued to the debtor and must be presented to the court along with the petition for debt relief. The Debtor Identification Letter is issued to a third party and must be presented to the court along with the petition for debt relief.
