Imperial County Public Records
Records are kept and maintained not only because the same is mandated by law, but also because records have a lot of use not only in the public lives of people, but also in their private lives. One must consider that almost anything that could and would be done by a person in his life is bound to leave behind some sort of records. From the birth of a person to his death, to the time that he gets married, buys property or is arrested, to the time that he may be called out to be a witness, to sue, or to defend himself in court, all of this would have a corresponding record that the future generations could read for themselves. Most of these public records could be found amongst the Imperial County Public Records.
A person who is going to search for public records has, in general, two types of levels from where he could search for them. These levels are the state level and the county level. State level searches are the province of the state government and are more exhaustive than the other one. However, state level searches, because they are more exhaustive also take longer. County level searches, on the other hand, are the responsibility of the local government. County level searches are faster, but the trade-off for this is that they are not as exhaustive as state level searches as they only have access to records that come from within the county. County level searches are also the only option available if the searcher is looking for public records that do not form part of the vital records of a person.
At the state level, the department concerned would be the California Department of Public Health. The department has copies of all vital records from within the state since the year 1906. To begin a search here, the searcher would first have to download the correct form corresponding to the type of record that he wishes to search for from the website of the department. Note that the department could only give informational copies of vital records, unless the person making the request belongs to the exclusive list of people that are allowed to receive authorized copies. Once the form is downloaded, the searcher would have to completely accomplish it, and, depending upon the type of record that the searcher wishes to locate, he may have to submit a notarized sworn statement with the application form. These two forms, together with a money order corresponding to the required fee, would have to be sent to the department. The fee is twenty five dollars for birth certificates and fourteen dollars for divorce certificates. The other two fall in between.

At the county level, the unit concerned would be the Office of the Clerk-Recorder. The procedure is the same as the one at the state level, with the searcher being required to first download the form corresponding to the records being requested for. As with the Department of Public Health, the clerk-recorder can only give informational copies. The fees are the same, but a search at the clerk-recorder is generally faster since it would not be as exhaustive as a search at the state level.
Another option would be to search for the records that are being requested for at the internet. There are a number of online database that may be of use in this endeavour. These websites are easy to locate and use, and they are also almost always free. In addition, because they are internet searches, they are faster, more efficient, and do not require the searcher to leave his or her own home in order to conduct the search.
