Recorder Copy Request form – Solano County, CA

The Mail-in Official Document Copy Request Form is the Solano County Assessor/Recorder Department form for requesting, by mail, plain or certified copies of official documents held by the Solano County Recorder. It lists the documents you want and tells the Recorder where to send the copies.

The form asks for your contact details, an address for the copy return, and one row per document. Each row takes the document number or the book and page number, the document title, whether you want a certification (yes/no), and the page count or page range if you want only part of the document.

The form prints a fee schedule for FY 26/27 with three charges: plain copies per first page per document, certification per document, and additional pages per additional page per document. It also says that certified copies contain all pages of the document and are charged accordingly. The amounts are printed on the form; check it or call the department for the current figures.

The county lists this form on its Assessor/Recorder forms and information sheets page, separately from the assessment, exemption and change-of-ownership forms there. The same page links other mail-in forms for birth, death, marriage and acknowledgement records, which are not this form.

Anyone who wants copies of an official recorded document from the Solano County Recorder and is requesting them by mail uses this form. You fill in the requestor name, phone number, date and mailing address, then list each document you want.

• If you want a certified copy of a document, answer yes in the certification column for that document. The form says certified copies contain all pages of the document.
• If you want only part of a document and a plain copy is enough, enter the page count or page range in the last column.
• If you want the copies sent to a different address than your mailing address, enter it on the For copy return lines.

Do not use this form to send a request by e-mail: the form says not to e-mail copy requests. It is a mail-in form, and payment has to travel with it. Requests for birth, death and marriage records use separate mail-in forms that the county lists on the same forms page. The form says nothing about who may request which documents or about representatives, so ask the Recorder's office at (707) 784-6290 if you have a question.

Send the form whenever you need copies of a recorded document; it carries no deadline or due date of its own. Because it is a mail-in request, the copies are returned by mail after the Recorder receives the form and payment.

The form says you may include a self-addressed stamped envelope for quicker return time. It does not state a processing time. For the status of a request or the current fees, call the Assessor/Recorder Department at (707) 784-6290.

Prepare the document details before you start: the document number, or the book and page number, and the title of each document. If you are not sure which pages you need, ask for the whole document, since certified copies always include every page.

The only channel the form gives is the mail: send the completed form with your payment to the Solano County Recorder. The form says not to e-mail copy requests.
