Closed cases are kept at the Clerk´s Office for a limited amount of time (generally six months) due to a lack of storage space. The closed cases are shipped to the Federal Records Center (archives) twice a year. To view a case at the Federal Records Center you need the accession, location and box number. The Archive Request Form may be downloaded from this website. If you choose to download this form, you MUST obtain the locating numbers from the Clerk´s Office at (515) 284-6230. If you prefer to review the case at the Clerk´s Office there is a $45.00 archive retrieval fee. The Federal Records Center accepts requests for copies from bankruptcy case files by mail or fax.
