Certified Court Record Retrieval
I retrieve available court records when third-party access is permitted, including:
​
• Certified divorce judgments
• Filed settlement agreements and judgment attachments
• Court orders and dispositions
• Case histories and other specified court records
​
One-business-day retrieval is available for eligible records ready for in-person release. Archived, restricted, or unusually large files may require additional court processing.
​
Confirm the exact documents and number of certified copies needed with your attorney or receiving authority before ordering.

Contact me before ordering to confirm the available options for your record.
​
You may need to apply directly to the issuing agency. If the agency permits delivery to a third-party address, you can arrange for the certified copy to be mailed to my office for apostille processing.
​
San Mateo County does not release authorized certified birth certificates to third-party agents in person, even with a power of attorney. An eligible applicant must order directly and have the certified copy mailed to them. Once received, the client can ship it to me for an apostille.
​
Already have your certified California record? Contact me for document review and mailing instructions. No retrieval fee applies when you or the issuing agency mails the record to my office.
