Lincoln County Public Records
A public record is any record containing information relating to the conduct of government business that is prepared, owned, used, or kept by an agency. This includes electronic media, paper, email, microfilm, audiotapes, videotapes, magnetic tapes, and disks. A valid request seeks a specific, identifiable public document. A request for general information is not a valid public records request.
You do not have to identify the record with exact precision, but more detail helps. Staff may assist in clarifying your request. Chapter RCW 42.56 does not apply to court documents. To request court records, contact Lincoln County Superior Court or Lincoln County District Court directly.
Most jail records beyond the basic public roster are confidential under RCW 70.48.100. Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates go through the Washington State Department of Health.
