Under 10 mins I had certified copies of my marriage license from 1997. Everyone was masked from the cops at the door to the people behind the counter. If only all government agencies were run like this one. Highly efficient and pleasant. Couldn't ask for better customer service!

Had to go print new documents and get things renotarized because staff didn't staple all POA documents together. Wasted time, money, and now might miss 1pm cutoff for apostilles

Got married here and it was a wonderful experience, a little quick but the pictures were perfect!

Clean, well run, and they're are people to help you get where you're going. Jurors need to park in a garage and take a shuttle, but it's not far away.

My couple and I had no issues when coming for their wedding day. There was no wait at all they got very lucky. The officiant was extremely nice and also cared about the couple getting the best photos they could. There were no restrictions for photography and I even asked if she could step out of the way for the kiss and she was happy to.
