    • California County Vital Records Offices

      Information for California:

        You may obtain certified copies of Vital Records directly from the County Recorder's Office, or Local Health Department for recent Births and Deaths if you know the county of occurence. Most of the county offices can provide a faster processing time than the State office (often within one week). Also, many of the county offices will accept requests (using a credit card) by phone, fax, or on-line. Certified copies of divorce decrees and confidential marriage records must be obtained from the county where divorce was granted or the marriage was licensed.
