Original Registration

A process server is required to register with the auditor of the county in which the process server resides or operates his or her principal place of business.

The process server registration form can be submitted:

• by mailing the original completed form and a check for $10.00 made out the Whatcom County Auditor
• in person at the Whatcom County Auditor's Office. We accept cash, check, and most credit/debit cards (a Vitalchek convenience fee applies)

Renewal and Changes

Renewal of the process server registration must occur within one year of the date of the initial registration or when the registrant information changes:

• His or her name,
• The name of his or her business,
• Business address,
• Business telephone number

The process server must renew his or her registration within ten days of the date the registrant information changes. The $10.00 registration fee is due upon renewal.
