I received a fee waiver for my filing fees. Will transcript fees be waived as well?

Fee waivers do not apply to transcript fees for appeals. You must file a Motion for Transcripts at Public Expense. 

Transcripts at public expense are granted only in criminal cases where the defendant qualifies for that relief. 

The trial or appellate court may order the transcript prepared at public expense in very limited categories:

• Termination of parental rights cases filed by the Department of Child Protection and Permanency.
• Title 9 abuse and neglect cases.
• Certain adoption cases.
• Involuntary civil commitments.

Transcripts at public expense are unlikely in other types of cases.
