Vermont Court Forms
Vermont Court Forms is the Vermont Judiciary's website for Court forms that you can fill out, print, and file in Court.

Are you filing a law suit in court? You have to pay a filing fee. Is the filing fee too much money for you to pay? The Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is a court form that asks the Court to let you file your law suit without paying the filing fee. The form is also called an "IFP."

The Court will look at your income and expenses. Then the court will decide if it will waive the filing fee for you. The court might say you don't have to pay the fee. Or the court may decide that you have to pay some or all of the fee.

The Application is an affidavit. This means that the Application is a sworn statment about facts. This means that the information you put on the form must be true. You need to have the form notarized. Don't sign the Application form until you are in front of a Notary Public. The Court Clerk's office has free Notary Publics.
