Orange County Clerk-Recorder launches a mobile office van

The Orange County Clerk-Recorder has added a mobile office called Clerk-Recorder on Wheels. The department announced the van on January 5, 2026, and held its public debut and ribbon cutting on January 9, 2026, in the County Administration South parking lot in Santa Ana. The department says it is the first county clerk-recorder office in California to offer mobile passport services, and in June 2026 the program received a national achievement award from the National Association of Counties.

What the van offers

The department lists these services for the van:

• Vital records services for birth, death and marriage records
• Passport applications and passport photos
• Marriage licenses and marriage ceremonies
• Fictitious business name registrations
• Official copies of recorded property documents, such as grant deeds and deeds of trust

Where it goes

The van travels to community events, schools, senior centers and outdoor settings suited to weddings in cities across Orange County. The department notes that the services on board can vary from stop to stop, depending on the location and the event.
