Debtor Electronic
Bankruptcy Noticing (DeBN) 
Last Updated: April 2015
Note: Only the court is authorized to send notices to the debtor through this DeBN program. All other parties, such as trustees and creditors, will continue to serve the debtor via U.S. mail or in person as required by court rules.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of North Dakota offers debtors the opportunity to request receipt of court notices and orders via email, instead of U.S. mail, through a program called "Debtor Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing" or "DeBN."
DeBN provides the following advantages:
Faster — You will receive notices the same day they are filed by the court.
Convenient — Access your notices anywhere you have internet access.
No more lost paperwork — Storing notices on your computer means never losing a paper copy.
Less paper clutter — Helps the environment and reduces paper clutter in your home.
It is FREE!
To receive email notification of filing, each debtor must complete the Request form. If represented by an attorney, the completed form can be electronically filed.
