Voluntary Waiver of Firearm Rights and Revocation
To help prevent suicide, the 2018 Washington State Legislature created a non-court process to allow a person to voluntarily waive firearm rights and to later revoke that waiver. RCW 9.41.350. The Administrative Office of the Courts prepared the forms listed below. RCW 9.41.352.
If you are a:
- County Clerk,
- Firearm or ammunition dealer, or
- Health care provider,
you must make these forms available at your location. RCW 9.41.352(3).
To voluntarily waive your firearm rights: Complete the Voluntary Waiver of Firearm Rights form. Bring the completed form and photo identification to a County Clerk's office in any county in Washington State. Alternatively, you may file the form electronically to any County Clerk's office in any County in Washington State. If you are not filing the form in-person, the County Clerk will require you to verify your identification with a scanned copy of photo identification.
To revoke your voluntary waiver of firearm rights: At least seven days after you filed your waiver with the Clerk, you may file a revocation of the waiver with the County Clerk in the same county in which you filed your waiver. Complete the Revocation of Voluntary Waiver of Firearm Rights form and bring the completed form and photo identification to the County Clerk's office.
