Birth / Death / Marriage Certificate Copies
The Recorder’s Office also serves as Registrar of Vital Statistics. This means that every birth, marriage, and death record dating back to 1851 is “of record” in the San Joaquin County Recorder’s Office. A certified copy of a license or certificate that has already been issued may be obtained for a statutory charge.
Effective January 1, 2010 only specific individuals can receive an AUTHORIZED CERTIFIED COPY of a birth, death, or marriage record. Those not meeting the criteria for an AUTHORIZED CERTIFIED COPY may receive an INFORMATIONAL COPY with the words INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY imprinted across the face of the copy. An AUTHORIZED copy of a birth record is required to obtain a driver’s license, passport, social security card and other services related to an individual’s identity. An AUTHORIZED copy of a death record may be required to obtain death benefits.
Individuals permitted to receive an AUTHORIZED CERTIFIED COPY:
The registrant or parent or legal guardian of the registrant
