Recorder
Please contact us for information regarding any of these services:
This office cannot answer court-related questions, including information regarding divorce decrees. Please contact the Court Administrator's office.
In an effort to strengthen the security and integrity of the passport issuance process, the U.S. Department of State and National Passport Services (under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) have implemented a policy for all dual function offices, effective May 1, 2011. Under this policy, the Recorder’s Office cannot overlap duties between the Passport Acceptance Program and birth/death certificate printing. These federal agencies see a conflict between the two services and believe they need to minimize opportunity for fraud by their passport agents.
As always, we will continue to do our best to provide you with your passport and birth/death certificate needs in an efficient and timely manner.

If you need to apply for a passport or a birth/death certificate, you may continue to visit the Recorder’s Office anytime Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Usually, there should not be a problem obtaining these services, but because of vacation and/or sick days and the separation of duties policy, it may benefit you to call ahead if you need same day service.
