I needed a copy of my birth certificate and when going in person instead of ordering online I feared it would take hours of my time. Instead, I was in and out within 15 minutes. The process felt similar to the DMV, but so much cleaner and simpler. The people that I spoke to were so nice and inviting. I got what I needed in a timely and efficient manner. If/when I need to I can go back without the same fears I once had.

how can i get a marriage license

Do I need to make an appointment to get married and if so then how much would I have to pay . Can friends of our join too and can we do it on a Sunday ?

Noemi Macareno | Aug 23, 2021
Savannah Ortega | Aug 23, 2021

We went one week before our wedding and we found out we needed an appt. They were booked up at least a month out. Making an appointment now would be best, the license without civil ceremony is $100.

I have an appt but I was not sent a SST number. Is that a problem?

Juanita Walch | Aug 23, 2021
Esme Rios | Aug 23, 2021

I'm trying to make an appointment but is asking me for a SST # what is that? How do I get it?

I want a marriage license awarded online. Can I bring my witness via Zoom? Also, why am I being charged for the ceremony? All I want is the license.

Marc Fleishman | Aug 23, 2021
Marie Lua | Aug 23, 2021

They have a chat option online, they might be able to answer that for you instead of calling and waiting on hold for hours...

I'm 100% military service disabled. Am I set up to receive 50% tax exemption for property taxes?

Steve Perkins | Aug 24, 2019
Paula Jorda | Aug 24, 2019

Don't know if you got your answer yet but yes you do qualify in CA. You will need a letter from a Veterans Service Office that verifies that you are rated at 100% service connected, (you can download this letter from 'myebenefits' website) take it to the Assessors' Office and they will guide you to the appropriate dept/paperwork. The amount of exemption (close to $200,000) will vary on whether or not you qualify as 'low-income.' http://www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/dv_exemption.htm Good luck.

What can I do if my child's birth certificate did not reach me at the address I gave at the hospital seven months ago?

Andreina Rodriguez | Aug 24, 2019
Tom Ayers | Aug 24, 2019

You can go to the County Recorder office, of the county in which your child was born, and obtain a copy of the birth certificate. You can complete the application online, prior or at the recording office when you plan to pick up the certificate. Bring ID.

How on earth can this county recorder reject my notarization because I didn’t add the dots between my initials when I write out my name?? Over 12 years as a notary I’ve never added the dots between my initials EVER.

James Bergstrom | Aug 24, 2018
Tom Ayers | Aug 24, 2018

If the "dots" between your initials appear on your notary stamp, they have to appear on the document with the signature(s) you are verfying. Your stamp and your name on the signed document, as the Notary Public, must match exactly. Your signature can be what it is; initials or written out. Your verification will be rejected if the words or title "Notary Public" don't appear after your name, as well. In my experiences with the Riverside County Recorder office in Palm Desert, the clerks know their stuff. I hope this helps.
