[4]

You can apply to register to vote right now by filling in the online application. The application is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. [8]
Availability
If you are enrolled in California's confidential address program, Safe At Home, please do not apply to register to vote using this site. Contact the Safe At Home program toll-free at (877) 322-5227 or by the Safe At Home email. [9]
Eligibility & access
To pre-register to vote in California, you must: Be 16 or 17 years old, and Meet all of the other eligibility requirements to vote. You will automatically be registered to vote on your 18th birthday. [11]
Birth, death and marriage certificate information (opens in a new tab)[13]Official instructions

Official Stanislaus County certificate information and application options. Follow the county’s instructions for the copy type and request method you need.

Marriage license information and requirements (opens in a new tab)[24]Official instructions

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

Appointments · New marriage license — standard in-person application
Complete the application and make an appointment. This is required to apply for a marriage license. [29]
Information & documents · New marriage license — standard in-person application
If divorce was finalized within the last 30 days, the applicant will need to provide a certified copy of the final entry of judgment. [30]
Payments · New marriage license — standard in-person application
Only cash, check or money order is accepted. An ATM machine is available in the lobby but it’s best to come prepared. [31]
Schedule a marriage license appointment (opens in a new tab)[25]Official instructions

County-linked appointment information or scheduler. Confirm the service and location before booking.

FBN / DBA filing instructions (opens in a new tab)[41]Official instructions

Read the Clerk’s FBN statement and publication requirements. A linked temporary relocation PDF is dated 2021; it is not evidence of a new current relocation.

Before you start

Deadlines · Initial filing — state deadline
File within 40 days after starting business under the fictitious name. [32]
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. [33]
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. [34]
Information & documents · Newspaper notice — publication frequency
Publish once a week for four successive weeks. [35]
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. [36]
Deadlines · Expiration — earlier changes or abandonment can end the statement
A statement generally lasts five years, but changes or abandonment can end it earlier. [37]
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. [38]
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. [39]
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. [40]
Search Stanislaus official-record index (opens in a new tab)[46]Online service

County Recorder index with name, document-number, map, recording-date and book/page search controls. Copy orders distinguish regular and certified documents.

Before you start

Information & documents · Book/page versus document number
For older documents use book/page; annual document numbering began in 1980. Maps still use book/page references. [47]
Availability · Copy type selected at checkout
Choose regular or certified for each document number in the order. Portal controls do not establish a delivery method or turnaround. [48]
