[WSBAPT] Changes at King County Clerk/Court - Records Requests

Mon Apr 25 15:52:16 PDT 2022

Brent,

While I agree that there are some issues with the new KC Script system, I was able to create and account and received regular copies immediately after paying the fee.  You can register for a new account here: https://dja-prd-ecexap1.kingcounty.gov/?q=user/register.

After you pay, there will be a message within the portal advising that your order is complete.  Then you enter the order date or transaction number to locate your request, click on the link to the specific request and there will be a hyperlink to View Record.

Good luck!

Greetings List Members - 

If you have been anything like me, you have avoided the changeover from ECR Online to KC Script until forced. That day arrived on the 22nd. You can NO LONGER access ANY records through ECR Online. 

KC Script has MANY more buttons and options to choose from AND your records will not necessarily be immediately available AND there is no way to set up an "account" so you don't have to pay a transaction fee for EVERY SINGLE REQUEST that you make. 

For a county government that likes to talk about access to Justice, they just made me spend more than double the actual amount for copies of records. 

I took some time to ask the online Chat if there was a way and I just wasn't seeing it and the answer is NO - there is no account function at this time. There is no ETA they are providing as to when there MAY be an account function added.

Oh - and the nearly $200 that was in my account from before - no real idea when that will be returned to me. 

I am sure that they were solving some "problem" with the old system.....don't know what it is but for those who simply used ECR to pull items from the docket every now and then - the system is much more cumbersome, convoluted, complex, and expensive. 

Brent

PS - yes - I am finding out to whom I can write to express my feelings and not just screaming into the void.
