Sve što slijedi prepisano je iz vlastitih objavljenih izvora ovog ureda i navedeno njegovim vlastitim riječima. Vrijednost koju nismo mogli potvrditi na službenoj stranici nosi oznaku "nepotvrđeno" — no odsutnost te oznake nije jamstvo da je činjenica provjerena, a vlastite sumnje izvora ostaju u bilješkama koje su ovdje doslovno prenesene. Prije slanja dokumenata ili novca potvrdite naknade, adrese i rokove izravno u uredu.

### Brža usluga

- **$100.00 USD** po 10 dokumenata — Poštom — typically 2–3 business days from receipt — $100 expedite fee per each 10 documents (1–10 docs = $100; 11–20 = $200), in addition to $15.00/document
- **$150.00 USD** po 10 dokumenata — Osobno — same day (in person) — "an additional $150 same day fee for the first 10 documents. If there are more than 10 documents an additional $100 expedite fee will apply. (1-10 documents = $150.00, 11-20 documents = $250, etc.)" — in addition to $15.00/document; may be limited by business hours, cutoff times, and volume; documents must arrive 30 minutes before closing

The division "has only one mailing address" (the PO Box); "Commercial couriers such as UPS and FEDEX must use our overnight address" — the Tumwater street address, which "can only receive overnight deliveries by a commercial carrier" and cannot receive regular mail
