AO 320: Bankruptcy Notice Provider Application
AO 320, Bankruptcy Notice Provider Application, is a United States Bankruptcy Courts form made pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(g)(4) and 9001(9). The form says it should only be used by a person or entity that intends to route bankruptcy notices to preferred physical or electronic addresses based on agreements with notice recipients about the manner and address for receiving the notices. Absent any such agreements, the form says it is unnecessary to become approved as a Notice Provider.
The 3-page application asks for the applicant's firm and contact details, four affirmations, three references, up to five Bankruptcy Court districts, and a signature by an authorized officer under penalty of perjury. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Other Forms, effective on August 1, 2021, and the PDF is dated Rev. 08/2021. The form says it may not be altered or changed in any manner.
