Wash. Admin. Code § 296-06-080
Some public records are protected from inspection and/or copying by state and/or federal law. You may access these records by either:
Being the person legally authorized to access them; or
Getting a notarized written authorization from the person with legal access. This authorization must:
- Include a description of the records.
- State the name of the person or persons authorized to inspect and copy the records.
- Be signed and dated by the person with legal access to the records.
Note: | If the records contain information about a disease or a condition usually transmitted through sexual contact, the release authorization must specifically mention sexually transmitted disease. |
Authorizations to release information, once submitted to the department, become a part of the public record and the department's files.
