I walked in around 1:30pm and there was absolutely ZERO wait time. If you need services from the Clerk-Recorder and are in the Orangevale area, I definitely suggest you come here. It's now 4 years later and still probably the fastest service you'll find in any government office. Literally zero wait!

Great service! Aubrey was so nice and fast at helping me and my sister out for our kids birth certificates. Thanks Aubrey! If we ever need county service we will be going back.

Super easy and fast if you arrive when they open. Had to get certified birth certificate copies on 2 separate occasions. Was in and out in under 10 minutes. Friendly people working there.

We got married in this office in April 2021. It was a little different because of Covid precautions, but given that, it was lovely, short and sweet. Wouldn't have had it any other way! Thank you to our awesome officiant as well who made it feel special.

I give this location all the stars because of the convenience and the lady that works in the front is awesome. Shannan(the guy) is not a nice person and takes his job entirely to serious and down talks people. We were returning our marriage license all excited and happy and couldn’t even smile, greet us nicely or anything??? We even watched how he interacted with other folks that came in after us. Passive aggressive for sure!
