Official tax bills, balances and payment options. Read the office’s current requirements before continuing.
Official county instructions for obtaining a new marriage license. Online application entry alone does not issue a license or replace the required appearance; confirm the license type, documents and visit arrangements.
Before you start
- Information & documents · New marriage license — standard in-person application
- If either or both applicants were divorced or had an annulment that was final within the last 6 months, a copy of the final judgment is required. [7]
Official official instructions for requesting certificates. Read the office’s current requirements before continuing.
Prepare an in-person application online before visiting, or follow the triplicate/mail requirements. The page still quotes older 30-day publication language; current state deadlines are cited below.
Before you start
- Information & documents · Paper submission
- Prepare one original and two copies for this paper submission route. [31]
- Availability · In-person filing
- Prepare the application online before visiting and bring payment for the fees. [32]
- Deadlines · Initial filing — state deadline
- File within 40 days after starting business under the fictitious name. [8]
- Eligibility & access · Where to file — principal place of business
- File in the county of your principal California business location. If you have no California business location, file in Sacramento County. [9]
- Deadlines · New or changed filing — newspaper publication
- Start publication within 45 days after filing. Use a qualifying newspaper in the filing county, or an adjoining county if no qualifying newspaper exists there. [10]
- Information & documents · Newspaper notice — publication frequency
- Publish once a week for four successive weeks. [11]
- Deadlines · After publication — file the affidavit
- File the publication affidavit with the County Clerk within 45 days after publication is completed. Check whether your newspaper files it for you. [12]
- Deadlines · Expiration — earlier changes or abandonment can end the statement
- A statement generally lasts five years, but changes or abandonment can end it earlier. [13]
- Eligibility & access · No-change renewal — publication exception
- An unchanged renewal filed within 40 days after expiration does not need republication. Changes can require a new publication. [14]
- Information & documents · California principal business location
- Provide the street address and county of the principal business location. A registrant’s separate mailing-address rule does not remove this requirement. [15]
- Information & documents · Individual registrant — owner mailing address
- For an individual owner, provide the full name and business mailing address if different from the business address. Do not apply older blanket residence-address instructions. [16]
Prepare the application before an office visit, or follow the paper/mail route. Preparation alone is not confirmed filing.
