Sheriff's Office

Civil and Records

Civil

Civil process is a term that covers the service of pleadings, motions, orders and other papers to parties involved in civil cases, and the service of orders that enforce judgments entered by the courts. In Washington, process service is a mandated responsibility of the Sheriff’s Office, and, for the most part, only the office of Sheriff may perform civil process duties.

We serve:

  • Subpoenas
  • Notices of Claim
  • Summons and Complaint
  • Dissolution documents
  • Child Custody documents
  • Writs

Sheriff's Office employees cannot give legal advice.

There may be times when the Sheriff’s Civil Division cannot serve papers in the time requested. In those instances please see the Sheriff’s Office for a current list of local private process servers (PDF).

Unless other arrangements have been made, payment in advance is required.

Service fees (PDF) are set by county resolution. Additional fees as applicable to accomplish service of process may apply. Mileage is 67 cents a mile with a $20 minimum charge.
