Submission of a nonstandard document requires a properly completed cover sheet with a signed statement declaring that "...I am requesting an emergency nonstandard recording for an additional fee as provided in RCW 36.18.010. I understand that the recorded processing requirements may cover up or otherwise obscure some part of the text of the original document."

There is a $50 fee for this waiver in addition to the standard document recording fee, and the cover sheet with a signature requesting a non-standard document recording must be included.
