Common Questions
What is the County Clerk requirement?
None. Washington does not list a county step: personal documents must be notarized by a Washington notary with a complete notarial certificate, and certified copies signed by state or county officials are accepted.
Can I walk in?
Yes. Same-day in-person service is available in Tumwater (243 Israel Rd SE) and Cheney (960 Washington St) for an extra $150 same-day fee (first 10 documents).
