Estimated Costs for Transcripts

Appellate Division of Superior Court

This chart is for estimation purposes only 

Only the transcript agency can provide you with the actual cost of your transcript. 

NOTE: An order granting relief to proceed as an indigent does not entitle you to transcripts at public expense. Transcripts at public expense are typically granted only in criminal cases where the defendant qualifies for that relief. For additional questions, please contact your case manager.

Do not expect to receive transcripts at public expense for a civil or family appeal

  • An agency will not begin work on your transcript until they receive the estimated cost from the ordering party.
