For certified copies of death records for all who died within Seattle’s city limits, for
those who died in greater King County since 1944, and for all Washington State deaths
that have been filed electronically (starting in 2005).
Pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington 70.58.107, if we cannot fill your order because there is no matching record or because you cannot provide the
required information, we are required to charge you an $8 search fee instead of the $20 per certificate fee. In that case, we will provide a partial refund to you.
However, if your order is for a recent death, we will hold it until the funeral home has filed the certificate and fill your order at that time.
