Nice employees but so slow and they are so far behind in the paperwork. I came in to put in a change of address on Thursday but had to leave because they were on strike :C so I came back the next day and spent a good 2 hours doing paperwork. Overall it wasn’t a bad experience just really really slow and time consuming.

  • Odette Moronez

I scheduled w/ online communication a 45min. Apmt. W/ recorders department to view document(s). Smooth & quick. Quiet due flow of peeps in& out of building. Nina was kind & attentive as escorted to computer to do my research. Make sure you communicate online or in person before attempting to conduct business.

On the 3x occasions we were at the office for our marriage license & certificate, the staff were exceptionally friendly and patient! There were minimal lines on weekday mornings (before noon), we waited for 10mins maximum. There were plenty of seats in the waiting area too!

Came all the way from Sacramento to get a copy of childrens birth certificates, only to be told Appointment only,oh let's not forget everyone is at lunch so they cannot help me. The two lady's up front, horrible lack of customer service skills. They need to be fired.

  • Rodney Streeper

OK, decided to change this review from a 1 to a 4, and the County has Maggie to thank for that (appreciate her). Why you ask, because I had a really hard time getting a certified copy of my birth certificate, and spent about 2 hours on hold

  • Thengade Moodu

I went last month here for a business purpose. I was pleasantly surprised to see a govt office this efficient and that during covid. The official, a nice lady (S. C.) helped me get through the process in no time and explained the next steps

  • M Akhtar Hussain

I have had a super experience here. Would recommend to go early. I reached 5-10 minutes before office opens and was out at 8:10, some of free parkings were still available which is free for 2 hours. You have to enter N San Padro St to enter

  • Jerry Jiang

My impression on gov facilities is always from DMV and the very typical DMV, where you have to wait for hours to get even simple service. My experience at this office is actually quite positive. Arrived at 10:30, was immediately helped by

Getting birth certificate .. I went in to get birth certificate for my newborn on a Friday morning and it was quick and super efficient without any wait time. Was quite surprised given there were no appointments until few months later.

  • Rheanna

Parking was easy in the free public parking lot just outside the building, accessible from N. San Pedro St. As I pulled up, someone pulled out, and I snagged a spot right away, around 11 AM on a Thursday. When I left 45 minutes later,

My visit to this office went very quickly and smoothly. From parking to driving away it was 30 minutes. I had to fill out the form for a copy of my marriage certificate, but there was just a short line to check in, and then about five

The two clerks towards the entrance to the department were very helpful, informative, kind and have great customer service, thank them so much. It’s too bad I didn’t see their badge to catch their names but they have made my day after

  • Joe G

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).

  • Helena Pappadakis

I've had to call a few times here about my birth certificate and each time I called Vee answered the phone. She is so kind and professional. I really appreciated her outstanding service. Give that wonderful lady a raise!

  • Gary Chao

How can it be possible that the County Recorder’s Office doesn’t provide signature notary services?! When they issue the certificate to folks wanting to be a formal notary — this is unbelievably illogical!

  • Kenny S

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.

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.
