These links were found on official source pages. Each service is handled by the office.
Official Yolo County certificate information and application options. Follow the county’s instructions for the copy type and request method you need.
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
- Each applicant must provide: • Father’s full birth name • Father’s state or country of birth • Mother’s full birth (maiden) name • Mother’s state or country of birth • If applicable: how a previous marriage ended and the date it ended • The name you will take after the ceremony [11]
- Payments · In-office payment
- No Split Payments Accepted We are unable to process transactions using more than one payment type (for example, cash and check). Each transaction must be completed with a single payment source. [12]
File in person or by mail. Mail filings need an original wet signature, return envelope and payment. Review the FBN-specific fee schedule and current state publication rules.
Before you start
- Information & documents · Mail application
- Sign the paper FBN statement with an original wet signature. [26]
- Deadlines · Initial filing — state deadline
- File within 40 days after starting business under the fictitious name. [13]
- 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. [14]
- 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. [15]
- Information & documents · Newspaper notice — publication frequency
- Publish once a week for four successive weeks. [16]
- 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. [17]
- Deadlines · Expiration — earlier changes or abandonment can end the statement
- A statement generally lasts five years, but changes or abandonment can end it earlier. [18]
- 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. [19]
- 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. [20]
- 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. [21]
