The recorders office was very helpful with my recording needs. At first they told me my doc wouldn’t be recorded that day. I explained I had drove from CA, needed a copy that day and they found a way to get it recorded in 30min 😄.

I called for a certified copy of my marriage license. The young man was so polite and professional. The transaction cost was under $3; the interaction was quick. Great experience!
