About the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk

The current collection brings together vital-record applications, property-related documents, and forms concerning domestic partnerships and notary matters. Birth, death, and marriage record applications are distinct from the application for a confidential marriage record; the titles indicate separate record-request documents. These applications also include a Certificate of Identity, so check the form itself and current agency instructions for any supporting information it calls for.

Property documents in the collection include a 20 Day Preliminary Notice, a Preliminary Change of Ownership form, affidavits concerning a joint tenant or trustee’s death, and trustee substitution and reconveyance forms. Restrictive Covenant Modification forms are another distinct group, including one identified as housing-related. The catalog also represents domestic partnership statements and information, along with notary-related forms such as photocopier authorization, professional photocopier registration, and a request for a notary journal search.

These examples describe forms currently listed on this page, not necessarily every document issued by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. Before using a form, check the issuing agency’s current instructions for the applicable version, supporting documents, fees, deadlines, and submission methods. Those details can matter, and the form titles alone do not establish what is required in a particular situation.
