Pay for and Obtain Copies of Court Hearings on a CD

FTR or JAVS Requests

• FTR = For the Record
• JAVS = Jefferson Audio Video Systems

A computer is required to listen to completed CDs.  Prior to ordering, please see System Requirements below.  There is a minimum $25 fee per hearing. Court Reporter services may incur other charges.

 Please note: If the hearing you request had a live Court Reporter (a real person in the courtroom), you will need to contact the Court Reporter directly. Yakima County Superior Court maintains the list of qualified Court Reporters / Transcriptionist.  Please contact Yakima County Superior Court for modifications to the list.  Click here for a current list of Transcriptionists/Court Reporters.

  • You may look that information up here.

If you choose to make payment in person, it must be cash, a cashiers check or a money order (payable to the Yakima County Clerks Office) as personal checks are not accepted. Checks from law firms are accepted.

Requests are not processed until payment is received.

Using nCourt
If using the nCourt electronic payment service, once you receive your "Confirmation Number" from nCourt, you will then put that on the Copy Request in the designated area. Re-submit your completed form or 'Reply' to the E-mail our office notifies you with and provide us the "Confirmation Number."  A Deputy Clerk will then process your request. Requests are not processed until payment or the "Confirmation Number"  is received.  (If payment -or "Confirmation Number"- is not received by our office within 30 days of your request, your copy request will be deleted.)

 If electronic payment is made after business hours, on weekends or holidays, your payment will not be processed until the next business day. (When asked for a Date Of Birth -on the nCourt electronic payment site - you may enter a random date.)
