The county request center covers Multnomah County records handled through that system. It does not replace Oregon court records or every independently maintained office source.
The county also identifies publicly available records that can answer some questions without a request. Keep direct publication and portal responses labeled separately because they represent different access paths.
For a Multnomah County result, retain the department, record category, name, address, case identifier or date range that was actually used.
Multnomah County provenance fields

| Separate public body | Office and native identifier | Documents a custody change |
Multnomah direct publication and request-center responses are different evidence types
A directly published Multnomah County record can be verified from the county source without a request number. A request-center result, by contrast, has a department selection, request history and response context.
Label those paths separately when saving the result. If a department advises that the record belongs to Oregon courts or another office, keep that handoff before starting the new source trail.
