Document Requests

The Clerk's Office offers two ways to obtain access to publicly available court records: 1) through the Washington State Digital Archives, or 2) in person through the Clerk's Office.

DIGITAL ARCHIVES

If you are looking to purchase non-certified records, access through the Washington State Digital Archives is available.

  • On the main page, click Search.
  • Under the dropdown for "Record Series" choose Superior Court Records.  
  • In the "County" dropdown, select Klickitat County.
  • In the "Title" dropdown, select Klickitat County Superior Court Case Files, 2000-2022 (records older than 2000 will need to be obtained through the Clerk's Office). 
  • Enter the Case Number (with dashes).  If you aren't sure of the case number in question, please visit the Odyssey Portal to obtain that information.
  • Once your case appears, you may select which documents you would like to purchase; the title of the document is listed under "Description."  To preview the documents you've selected, to verify they are what you are looking for, click the page/magnifying glass found in the "Image Exists" column (far right).
  • After you've selected which documents you would like, click "Add to Cart" and continue with the checkout process.

** Please note.  When selecting the type of document you would like to purchase, please be aware there are two options: certified and non-certified.  Non-certified documents are available for download as soon as they have been purchased; certified documents will be mailed to the address provided at the time of check out.  Payments made through Digital Archives cannot be refunded.

IN-PERSON THROUGH THE CLERK'S OFFICE

You may obtain physical copies of certified or non-certified copies of publicly available court records by visiting our office during business hours.  The price for non-certified documents is $.50 per page; the price for certified copies are $5.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each additional page thereafter (RCW 36.18.016(4)).  If you are needing copies mailed, we may assist with that, but there will be a fee assessed for postage (tbd).
