Veterans can record their DD214 Form directly with us and receive copies directly from us at no charge.

Veterans of the U.S. armed services are entitled to have their DD214 Form, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, recorded by Island County (or any county in Washington State) at no charge. There are private commercial services that offer to process a DD214 recording, but at a cost to the veteran. These services are not sanctioned or endorsed by Island County or the federal Department of Veterans Affairs.

To record your DD214 for free with Island County, contact one of our deputy recorders at 360-679-7368, or visit our office at the Island County Recording Office, 1 NE 7th St., Room 105, Coupeville. The recording process and certified copies of the recorded document are free to veterans.

U.S. Postal Service Recommendation

Voters are encouraged to return ballots early. The USPS recommends voters return their ballots via mail a week before Election Day. Voters mailing within less than a week of Election Day should note mailbox collection times, or use an official ballot drop box.

Change of Mailing Address

The mailing address for the Accounting, Recording and Licensing Divisions was changed to 1 NE 7th St., Ste. 103, Coupeville, WA 98239. The mailing address for the Elections Division remains at P.O. Box 1410, Coupeville, WA 98239.

We encourage vessel and vehicle owners to consider renewing licenses and tabs electronically - refer to "Renewing Your Tabs Online" at DOL.

The Auditor's Elections Office, 400 N Main St., Coupeville, has limited entry. Due to limited space in our lobby, voters are encouraged to register online and drop their ballot in either a ballot drop box or a USPS mailbox. No postage is required to return a ballot. Voters can go into the Elections Office to pick up a voter registration form and complete it outside the office. Washington is an ALL-VOTE-BY-MAIL STATE and does not have in-person voting; ballots are mailed to voters 18 days in advance of Election Day, and voters are encouraged to vote and return their ballots as soon as possible.

Thank you,
