How is a debtor notified that his discharge has been granted?
Most courts send a form called Discharge of Debtor to the debtor and to all creditors. This form is a copy of the court order releasing the debtor from his dischargeable debts, and it usually serves as notice that the debtor’s discharge has been granted. It is usually mailed about four months after the case is filed, unless the trustee or a creditor has filed an objection to the discharge of the debtor, in which case a hearing must be held so that the court can rule on the objection. If the debtor’s discharge is not granted, the court must inform the debtor of the reasons for not granting it.
