NOTICE REGARDING REAL ID
Effective October 1, 2020, there will be a new federal law (REAL ID Act) regarding driving licenses that may affect many individuals. The Recorder's Office encourages customers to review the requirements to obtain a Real ID driving license. The requirements may include obtaining a copy of a birth and/or marriage certificate and possibly amending a record for accuracy. Checking the requirements with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may help you plan and minimize potential delays to obtaining required documentation.
For more information regarding the requirements for California's REAL ID, please visit DMV's REAL ID Interactive Checklist.
For more information regarding amending a record, please visit the California Department of Public Health's page on Correcting or Amending Vital Records
