The New York Authorization — Prisoners Civil Action Filing Fee is a fee imposed for the filing of civil actions in the New York State court system by individuals who are currently incarcerated in a New York State correctional facility. This fee is paid by the prisoner and is in addition to any court costs associated with the filing of the action. There are two types of New York Authorization — Prisoners Civil Action Filing Fees: the “Standard Fee” and the “Deluxe Fee”. The Standard Fee is $50.00 and covers the cost of filing the action in the court. The Deluxe Fee is $100.00 and covers both the cost of filing the action in the court, and the cost of processing the action. Both fees must be paid in full before the action can be accepted by the court.
