Note: You may make payment over the phone with a credit card, in person at the Record Center, or through the mail. If you are making payment by check and do not know the exact amount of copies to be made, send a blank check made payable to the State of Oregon, and in the memo line, write “Not to Exceed” and an amount you believe will cover the cost of the copies. Records staff will then fill in the exact amount and send the receipt, along with the copies, in the self-addressed, stamped envelope you have provided for that purpose.

Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in your request being returned to you.
