How do I make a request for a Written Transcript?

  1. Submit a Written Transcript Request Form. The form may be submitted by mail or returned to the information counter in the Justice Building or the file viewing room in the Courthouse.

  2. Transcript Coordinator will assign your request to an independent transcriptionist. The independent transcriptionist will contact you to provide an estimate of the cost and time needed to prepare the transcript.

 

What are the fees for Written Transcripts and when are they due?

  • The cost is $2.50 per page for the original and $0.25 per page for each copy (ORS 21.470)

  • Payment is made to the independent transcriptionist and they determine when payment is due.

 

When should I receive my Written Transcript?

  • Depending on the complexity or length of the hearing/trial, transcripts may take several days or weeks to complete. You should discuss this matter with the assigned transcriptionist.

  • You may request your transcript be expedited, but the transcriptionist may charge a higher amount per page.
