Horrible in person service. I came in and asked politely for help, since it was my first time there, but they are not helpful and there are rude workers, from the check in to the counters, specifically counter 14. They don't try to understand what you need and try to get rid of you as fast as they can. They don't want to bother getting up and guide the customers when they have questions. I overheard and witnessed a worker yelling at some customers when they just had questions and those customers were being nice. Not a good experience.

The good reviews shock me. Perhaps most people are going for a simple marriage license. If you need real estate documents recorded, manage your expectations. Slow customer service (5 month estimates to get a grant deed). High fees if you want to get a certified copy sent to you with tracking. No communication with the County tax assessor or City of Oakland so there have been attempts to charge me thousands when I didn't owe anything. Wonder why you get scam mail when you buy a home or record a document? The County recorder's office doesn't do anything to prevent your info from being used by con artists.

The customer service that I received was excellent! The FedEx shipping was worth it (since I needed my documents in a hurry). So, if you're ordering from out of state please do yourself a favor and pay the extra fee for shipping. You'll be happy you did.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I am my husband's Living Trust's durable power of attorney, how can I get one set of the power of attorney, which already recorded by Alameda County.

Angel Chung | Aug 26, 2019
Lowell Johnson | Feb 26, 2022

The is a room at the Recorders Office where the Recorded documents may be accessed by computer. Once the document has been located there are instructions for printing a copy. The copy is available at the clerk’s office in that room after completing a form with you name address & phone number. Cost is $3.50 per page. Power of Attorney Documents are recorded on occasions. However, it is rare that a Living Trust is recorded. It is a separate and distinct document which differs substantially from a Power of Attorney.

Can I get my sister death certificate?

Maria Hunt | Nov 28, 2021
Aaron Wortham | Nov 28, 2021

I don't work at or more appropriately for the "Alameda County Clerk-Recorder Office". I'm sorry that I can't help you any more than to make you aware that you should try some other means to aquire the information which you're seeking. I seriously hope that you can find out what to do to get your sister's death certificate. Though today is Veterans Day, a holiday recognized by most levels of government in this country, and their various agencies. Though I'm quite sure that not all of them will be closed tomorrow, a Friday. With that in mind if you attempt to get what your want to aquire someone should be able to assist you with what you're hoping to receive. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Sincerely, a concerned person who I'm sure that you mistakenly contacted, but who can only advise you on what I at least think that you should do. Again, good luck.

Birth Certificates are managed by the California Dept. Of Public Health. As such Alameda County has to abide by certain rules and regulations with regards to making these types of record requests. So the short answer is NO. They cannot speed up the process.
