    How to Issue a Subpoena or Court Order to Obtain Records
    My question involves court procedures for the state of: WA

    I would like to obtain inbound and outbound phone call records for my personal number. There is no case number. What must I show the judge to obtain a court order for my own phone records? Is this even possible?

    your phone company should be able to provide those, albeit at a cost if not free.

    why they saying no?

    and why do you need them? A pro se litigant does not issue out subs ... the clerk of the court does & you have to insure service is performed....quite a lot of information is required prior to a clerk issuing one out ~ they don't do this pro se litigants often.

    Assuming you have a case filed somewhere.

    Obtaining any court order or subpoena requires that a case be filed with the court. Once a case is filed, a subpoena may be obtained from the office of the clerk of the court by paying the appropriate fee. Generally, the court will not order anything until a subpoena has been issued and the other party fails to do what it is directed to.
