Great experience! Staff were all very nice and friendly. Came for son’s birth certificate without appointment (1.5 months out online). In and out 70 mins. Bring your ID and check/cash.

Picked up birth certificate after 6 weeks of baby being born. wait may be up to eight weeks it's not 4 weeks. Must confirm with them by calling them. And have a a lot of quarters to load up for car parking. And the card doesn't work.

I came to get a Birth Certificate and the 2 lady’s (employees) that they have in the front are so unprofessional the county should have employees with customer service skills.

Impressed by the service, courtesy and speed. The clerk-recorders office is very friendly and efficient. There are people to help you with self service items and certified copies are available while you wait (for not very long). Aside from that check out the county building, they have a ton of cool art and exhibits. Today was Lunar New Year 2019 and is the Year of the Pig. They have some really cool pig drawings made by school kids. This is probably the richest county in California, if not the whole US.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Nancy | Aug 26, 2018

Before a marriage ceremony can take place, both parties must first obtain a marriage license from the County Cler-Recorder's Office.  Monday through Friday 8:00 A.M. - 4:30 P.M.  A marriage license request must be completed and submitted to the clerk for the processing by 4:15 P.M. (Pacific Standard Time). Upon arrival, proceed to the public computers located directly behind the kiosk, and enter your marriage license application information.  Once the application has been completed, you will electronically submit your application and obtain a service ticket from the kiosk.

Hi, it looks like you only need to bring a valid ID, so current license will work. Also from the website it looks like it will be processed as you're there so you should get it right away. Cash/check is $28, credit/debit is $30.50. Also you'll need to provide your relationship to the person listed on the certificate if it's not for yourself.

Anybody know how much cost to get a permisso paper to get married and how long the process take?

Angelica Alvarado | Aug 26, 2019
Pamela Africa | Aug 26, 2019

It costs $200. 5 years ago when My husband and I got married. And the process took about 2 weeks. Just need to go to clerks office and apply for marriage and license. Then they give you an appointment to get married. After your married it gets signed and they mail it to you or you can pick it up a couple weeks later. Now if your already married and just need a copy Im sure you can get it much cheaper and faster. We paid $200. to get married and for license. I think license was like $25.00 but I cant remember.

HI, I have questions about getting a marriage license, (1) How much is to get married in the little chappel inside? (2) I read somewhere where you have to pay for every 10 minutes you are in there, how much is it for every 10 minutes?

Paola Mendez | Aug 26, 2018
Pamela Africa | Aug 26, 2019

I got married in the chapel 5 years ago. If I remember correctly it cost $200. First you have to apply for a marriage license then they give you an appointment that you can pick out. Then you go on appointment and you can bring whoever you choose to witness it. But I think how many people you invite is very limited. The room is small. Then you wait to be called for your turn and the ceremony only takes about 10-15minutes. If you dont have a witness they will provide one. They also took photos for us with our phone. If you want the original copy of the marriage certificate, I think its like $25.00 and it takes about a week or 2 for you to get it.
