What is the NCRS?

The National Creditor Registration Service (NCRS) is a free service provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts to give creditors options to specify a preferred U.S. mail, e-mail address, or fax number to which bankruptcy notices should be sent.

The Preferred Address service supports the amendment to title 11 U.S.C. § 342(f) of the bankruptcy act of 2005, along with the pending amendment to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(g)(4), both of which permit a creditor to specify a preferred mailing address to be used by all the bankruptcy courts or by particular bankruptcy courts for providing notices.

The Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing (EBN) program supports Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9036 which allows court notices to be transmitted electronically to notice recipients, delivering them faster and more conveniently than mailed paper notices.

If you are interested in participating in the NCRS, you might consider the benefits that EBN can offer your organization over mailed paper notices. More info on NCRS and EBN»
