About this chart: Because the modernized forms introduce the concept of one set of case-opening forms (petition
and schedules and a few other forms) for individual (including married) debtors, and a different set of caseopening forms for non-individual debtors, such as corporations, it was necessary to renumber all the bankruptcy
forms. This conversion chart lists the bankruptcy forms by pre-December 1, 2015 form number/name followed by
the modernized form number/name.
Official Bankruptcy Forms are approved by the Judicial Conference and are required to be used under Bankruptcy
Rule 9009. These forms change from two- to three-digit numbers (sometimes followed by a letter), and generally
follow this pattern: 1XX for individual debtor case-opening forms, 2XX for non-individual debtor case-opening
forms, 3XX for court notices and orders, and 4XX for other official forms. In most case, the “XX” is identical to the
original form number.
Director’s Bankruptcy Forms are issued under Rule 9009 by the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S.
Courts. The use of Director’s Forms may be required by local court rules or general orders, but otherwise exist for
the convenience of the parties. Director’s bankruptcy forms have been changed from three- to four-digit numbers
(sometimes followed by a letter); usually by adding a zero to the original form number.
