(a) IN GENERAL. This rule applies whenever these rules require
or permit sending a notice or serving a document by mail or other
means.
(b) NOTICES FROM AND SERVICE BY THE COURT.

a registered user by filing the notice or document with the
court’s electronic-filing system.
143 Rule 9037 FEDERAL RULES OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEDURE
1 So in original. Probably should be followed by ‘‘number’’.
(2) To All Recipients. For any recipient, the clerk may send
notice or serve a document by electronic means that the recipient consented to in writing, including by designating an electronic address for receiving notices. But these exceptions
apply:
(A) if the recipient has registered an electronic address
with the Administrative Office of the United States
Courts’ bankruptcy-noticing program, the clerk must use
that address; and
(B) if an entity has been designated by the Director of
the Administrative Office of the United States Courts as a
high-volume paper-notice recipient, the clerk may send
the notice to or serve the document electronically at an
address designated by the Director, unless the entity has
designated an address under § 342(e) or (f).
(c) NOTICES FROM AND SERVICE BY AN ENTITY. An entity may send
notice or serve a document in the same manner that the clerk
does under (b), excluding (b)(2)(A) and (B).
(d) WHEN NOTICE OR SERVICE IS COMPLETE; KEEPING AN ADDRESS
CURRENT. Electronic notice or service is complete upon filing or
sending but is not effective if the filer or sender receives notice
that it did not reach the person to be notified or served. The recipient must keep its electronic address current with the clerk.
(e) INAPPLICABILITY. This rule does not apply to any document
required to be served in accordance with Rule 7004.
