I believe there is a way to look at the information on birth and death certificates without purchasing them from the San Joaquin County Recorder's Office. Of course, when I was there last week they did not seem to know what I was talking about. So I ended up purchasing my great uncle's death certificate. Would someone please tell me what the procedure is to just view the info. Thank you. Debbie
The procedure is: Fill out the birth, death form (birth is white, full page.. death is goldenrod).. where it says How Many Copies?.. put a "0" and write "view only". Give this to the clerk and be patient.. they will put your request last, paying customers first... that is only fair. Check out the neat books they have on land records... and find out about searching for platt/land information.. (I did, and it pays off sometimes). When your copy is ready for viewing... take it to the counter away from the front counter, copy everything onto paper and then give the printout back to the clerk (they have to have it for accounting purposes). Also.... The recorder's office will be moving, and they were not sure when .. they will be directly accross the street in the bank building. The Assessor's office will be taking the entire 3rd floor, as they need more space.
