7 coordinated Article 78 PDFs. One private packet.

PetitionKit uses the facts you provide about a registrar or Department of Health denial to assemble and quality-check a coordinated court packet. You use your packet yourself and remain the filer.

Identify the petitioner and deceased record subject, choose the relevant New York county and citizenship program, and describe the prior denial.

  • A guided intake keeps related facts together.
  • Payment unlocks private packet generation.
  • The generated file stays owner-scoped.
  • You review every document before use.
Included packet

Every generated artifact, measured from the live packet registry.

The current PetitionKit registry contains 7 coordinated documents. The page derives that figure from the same artifact list used by the packet generator.

  • 2. Notice of Petition — Tells the respondents what is being asked of the court, and when and where the petition comes on to be heard.
  • 3. RJI / UCS-840 — The Request for Judicial Intervention (form UCS-840) — the form that asks the court system to assign a judge to your proceeding.
  • 4. Proposed Order — The order you are asking the judge to sign, directing the records office to release the restricted record.
  • 5. Exhibit Checklist — Every exhibit the petition references, in filing order — starting with your denial letter as Exhibit A.

$100 to Heritage Passport. Court fees go to New York.

The service fee covers assembly and quality checks. Index-number and other court fees are paid directly to New York, never to Heritage Passport, and can change under court rules. Heritage Passport does not act as your attorney and cannot promise that a court will grant relief.
