How Santa Clara County Certified Record Retrieval Works
If you are unable to visit the Santa Clara County office yourself, I can help determine whether the record can be retrieved on your behalf and what documentation is required before I make the trip.
​
1. Send me the record information
Tell me which certified record you need, the date of the record, and why or where the document will be used. If the document is intended for use outside the United States, please include the destination country.
​
2. I review the retrieval requirements
The issuing agency determines who is eligible to obtain a certified copy and what identification, authorization, application, or other documentation is required. Requirements vary depending on the type of record.
​
3. I retrieve the certified record in person
Once the required documentation is in order, I can visit the appropriate Santa Clara County office in San Jose to obtain the certified record when third-party retrieval is permitted.
​
4. Apostille and other services can be coordinated
If your certified record will be used internationally, I can continue the process with a California apostille when appropriate. Certified translation and domestic or international return shipping can also be arranged when needed.
