The Humboldt County Clerk / Recorder’s Vital Records division only issues certified copies and certified informational copies of birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage certificates. The Vital Records division is also responsible for issuing marriage licenses.
Note: Certified copies of vital records can only be issued by the county in which the event occurred. Therefore, if a birth or death occurred in, or a marriage license was issued by a county other than Humboldt, we can not process your copy order request.
For contact information of all other California counties, please refer to the Vital Records page made available through the California Department of Public Health's website.
Divorce records are a function of the Superior Court of California. Follow this link to the Superior Courts of California Humboldt County website for more information.
