Oregon Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees or Costs is an application that allows people who cannot afford to pay the upfront costs of a court case to have those costs waived. This application is typically used for civil (non-criminal) cases in Oregon state courts. There are two types of Oregon Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees or Costs: the fee waiver application and the indigent party application. The fee waiver application is for applicants who can demonstrate that their income is below the poverty level and have limited assets. This type of application requires that the applicant submit income documentation, such as a pay stub or income tax form. If approved, the court will waive the upfront costs associated with the case, such as filing fees or costs associated with service of process. The indigent party application is for applicants who are unable to pay the costs associated with a case, but may not meet the requirements for a fee waiver application. This type of application requires that the applicant submit evidence of their inability to pay, such as a financial statement or letter from a social service agency. If approved, the court may waive all or a portion of the costs associated with the case. In either case, the Oregon Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees or Costs must be approved by the court before any costs associated with the case are waived.
