Dear CALOSANG Group: A while back I visited the Department of Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office in Norwalk and looked through several oversized books/ledgers that contained indexes of marriages. While I was there I saw a few people, including a policeman, using computers within the same room as the indexes. I wonder if anyone has ever used these on-site computers and if so, are they open to the public? Are you able to view vital records on them, such as death or marriage certificates? Joseph ************************ Viewing Vital Records: The Department of Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is located at 12400 Imperial Highway in Norwalk. The following will provide you with the procedure for viewing vital records. Certificates and indexes of birth, death and marriage records not exempt from public inspections may be examined at the Office of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. In addition to certificates on file, there are indexes of birth, death and marriages available for public inspection as follows: Births prior to 1905 and from 1964 to the present; Deaths from 1877 to the present; and Marriages from 1852 to the present. Records of confidential marriages performed pursuant to Family Code Section 500 are not available for public review. Certificates and indexes may be examined at no charge unless a deputy is requested search and/or retrieve more than five records. Random searches of the indexes or the certificates are not allowed. An application is required for each record searched. Information sufficient to identify the requested record must be provided.
