How to Access Court Recordings

You can request and receive a copy of a court hearing through the KC Script Portal, in person, or via mail.

Note: If a court reporter was present at the hearing, a digital hearing is not available. In this case, complete this form and submit to Kent or Seattle Records Access. If notes are still retained in our office, they will be given to Superior Court to arrange transcriptions, and then you will complete your request with them. If notes are not available due to the Clerk's retention policy, you will be notified, and notes will not be provided. Court reporter notes are not available to the public.
