Notice Regarding Electronic Filing with the Chelan County Clerk’s Office

TrueFiling is an optional electronic filing system available for submitting documents to the Chelan County Clerk’s Office.

Important: Copies of orders intended for submission at a hearing must not be submitted through TrueFiling.

If you choose to use TrueFiling, you may also request that Judge’s/working/bench copies be delivered to chambers for informational purposes. The cost for this service is $0.25 per page, payable at the time of filing.
