Pennsylvania Reconfirmation Certification (Pro Se) is a process in which individuals who are representing themselves in a bankruptcy case may confirm their eligibility to proceed with the bankruptcy filing without the assistance of an attorney. This certification is available to individuals who are filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the state of Pennsylvania. The certification is required to ensure that the individual is properly informed of their rights and obligations under the bankruptcy process and that they are able to accurately and completely fill out all necessary documents. There are two types of Pennsylvania Reconfirmation Certifications (Pro Se) that can be obtained: (1) Pre-filling Certification and (2) Post-Filing Certification. The Pre-filling Certification must be completed prior to the bankruptcy filing and includes a written exam that tests the individual's understanding of the bankruptcy process and their ability to accurately complete all necessary documents. The Post-Filing Certification must be completed after the filing and includes a written exam, as well as an in-person interview with a bankruptcy trustee. The purpose of this interview is to ensure that the individual understands their rights and obligations under the bankruptcy process and that they have accurately and completely filled out all necessary documents.
