Answer:   You can apply for credit at anytime after filing for bankruptcy. If you aren't discharged, however, you must disclose that you are still bankrupt. Once discharged, you are not obligated to tell the creditor unless they ask, but the bankruptcy will show up on your credit record if a search is done.
