The Maleng Regional Justice Center and other courts in Kent, WA

King County Superior Court has a full courthouse in Kent: the Maleng Regional Justice Center at 401 Fourth Avenue North, Kent, WA 98032, open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The county describes it as housing the Superior Court and District Court serving south King County. The Superior Court mailing address there is Room 2D.

Local Civil Rule 82 defines the Kent Case Assignment Area as all of King County south of Interstate 90 except the parts placed in the Seattle area. King County District Court keeps its MRJC office at 1A, 401 4th Ave. N., and directs civil filings to Burien.

Interpreters at the Kent courthouse

The Superior Court’s Office of Interpreter Services has a location at the Maleng Regional Justice Center. The court says interpretation is free for all court events, that it has interpreters for more than 160 languages, and that it has court-certified interpreters in Arabic, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Cantonese, French, Korean, Laotian, Mandarin, Marshallese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Requests are made by online form, by email to scinterp@kingcounty.gov or at 206-477-1415.

That office’s page describes spoken interpretation for court events and does not mention translating documents. Written exhibits and foreign records are a separate matter: ask the clerk or your attorney what kind of translation the judge will want, then order that from a translator.

Apostille route for a Kent, WA document

Neither the Kent courthouse nor King County issues apostilles. The Washington Secretary of State does, for documents going to countries outside the United States; its form states the certificate is not valid for use within the United States.

Send the original or certified copy, the Apostille Authentication Request Form and $15.00 per document to PO Box 40234, Olympia, WA 98504-0234. The state quotes 7 to 10 business days for standard requests. Expedited handling adds $100 per 10 documents for a 2 to 3 business day turnaround. Walk-in same-day service is offered at 243 Israel Rd SE, Tumwater, WA 98501 for an additional $150 covering the first 10 documents. The state notes that FBI background checks go to the U.S. Department of State instead.
