I can walk in and obtain certificates Sacramento county.

I can provide CA birth & death certificates (1905 - present).  However, I must order them through the mail and delivery can be 2 weeks to 1 month depending on the county involved.  I charge $10 plus the cost of these certificates ($14 to $19 for Death certificates or $18 to $24 for birth certificates. Please see the County Recorders page for the cost of the certificates you are requesting).  All marriage certificates must be ordered from the County Recorder's office as the State vital records office does not have them.  I can order them from the county recorder for $14 to $20 for the certificate, plus $10 for my services, if the county the license was purchased from is known.

Certified or Informational Copy?

If the requester is a spouse, sibling, child, parent or grandparent they are authorized a "certified" copy of the document; however, they must submit a notarized statement as to how they are related. All other requesters must order an "informational" copy which gives the same information as the certified, however it also has "Cannot Be Used For Identification Purposes" stamped on the document.
