Placer County:
Birth & Death Certificates
Marriage Certificate
Sacramento County:
Birth Certificate
Death Certificate
Marriage Certificate
If you do not know the county where the event occurred visit the State of California Office of Vital Records.
Certified copies of actual divorce decrees are only available from the Superio Court in the county where the divorce was filed. The State Office of Vital Records can issue a Certificate of Record - and only for divorces that occurred between 1962 - and June 1984. A Certificate of Records includes the names of the parties to the divorce, the county where the divorce was filed, and the court case number. A Certificate of Record is not a certified copy and does not indicate if the divorce was finalized. Visit the State of California Vital Statistics Web Page for additional information on divorce records.
