What is the difference between exemplified, certified and plain copies?
Exemplified copies - Clerk statement, Presiding Judge statement and raised seals attesting to the authenticity in accordance with Certificate of Exemplification U.S. Code (1776) Title 28; Section 738 RCW 2.32.050 & RCW 5.44.010).
Certified copies - Documents from the official court record stamped with a statement of authenticity and the King County Superior Court seal, signed and dated by a deputy clerk or clerk of King County Superior Court.
Plain copies - a standard copy of the document without any clerk seals, signatures or statements to its authenticity

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBAPT] Statute/Rule source for exemplified copies

Does anyone have a statute or rule that you can direct me to that shows the requirements in Washington for an exemplified copy?  I tried performing a search and had no luck.  Out of state court clerk is requiring source of validity of process because apparently out of state court uses 3 seals and our Washington court clerks use only 2.
