What services can I use the drop box for?
You can use the drop box to submit requests that you would otherwise submit in-person or by mail, including:

• Birth, Death, Marriage certificate applications (for Authorized copies, a completed sworn statement in addition to a notary acknowledgement is required)
• Fictitious Business Name statements
• Documents to be recorded
• Official Record copy requests
• Marriage licenses ready for recording
• Assessor forms

How do I pay if I choose to use the drop box?
Check, cashier’s check, and money orders – no cash

How long will it take to process my request and how will I get my documents back?
You will usually get your document back in about a week. We usually process your document the next business day. Most orders we mail out the same day it’s completed. We hold recorded documents an additional couple of days to ensure proper preservation before returning the original to you.

It is recommended you include an envelope with paid postage for faster delivery.

What if I have other questions?
If you have an urgent matter that is not a listed service, initiate a chat with one of our technicians or call us at (951) 955-6200.
