The King County Clerk’s Office/Department of Judicial Administration will launch a new Self-Service Clerk’s Papers feature in the KC Script Portal on Monday, June 22, 2026.
This new online feature allows parties to designate documents and/or exhibits that need to be transmitted to an appellate court.
Key benefits include:
- Parties can designate documents directly in the KC Script Portal, which will automatically calculate page counts and associated costs, allowing immediate online payment.Upon payment, prompt access to the Index and available Clerk’s Papers Sets.
- Streamlined processing by eliminating manual clerk review of the Designation and invoice steps, resulting in faster transmission to the appellate court.
- This alternative self-service option will be available for Case Types 2, 3, and 4. Parties may continue to file a Designation in all case types to designate records for transmission to an appellate court as usual.
In preparation for this upcoming change, the Clerk’s Office host a public webinar to assist users in navigating the new feature on Wednesday, June 24 2026.
