LBR 9036-1 authorizes the court to deliver notices and orders to debtors via email iinstead of at a debtor's street address, if those notices and orders are delivered by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center on behalf of the court. This process is called DeBN, or Debtor Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing. To qualify for DeBN, a debtor files a form with the court to activate DeBN and provides an active email address. The debtor's email address will not appear on a docket.

To take advantage of the benefits of DeBN, a debtor must file a Request to Activate DeBN.
A debtor may need to update an email address; if so, the debtor must file a Request to Update DeBN.
