Lake County Public Records

Most of the things that happen in the world today leave behind a sort of record so that future generations would have something to refer to when it comes to these events. Most of these records could be classified under private records, meaning that they are the sort of records that only descendants of the people who made these records are likely to see, but a good number of them are public records, meaning, records that everyone could get their hands on and use provided that they would be able to meet the minimum requirements set by law. In Lake County, California, most of the records that could be classified as public records may be found in the Lake County Public Records collection.

Public records tend to establish something, and though all records are susceptible of doing that, public records are more acceptable in official processes such as court hearings or registering for government services. In general, there are two sources of public records, the first would be at the state level and the second would be at the county level.

State level searches for public records are limited to vital records only. Despite this, state level searches are exhaustive when it comes to searching for vital records as the records that are available from this level came from all over the state. In order to begin a search at this level, the searcher would first have to download the relevant form from the website of the California Department of Public Health. Note that there are two types of records that are available from the department, authorized and informational copies. Although both are substantially the same, informational copies could not be used to establish identity while authorized copies could only be given to those included in an exclusive list.

An authorized copy would require the searcher to execute a sworn statement, and a blank copy of one could be found in the website of the department. Once the sworn statement has been completed, it would have to be notarized. Together with a money order corresponding to the fee, the notarized sworn statement, if required, and the completed application form would have to be sent to the department for processing. Fees range from twenty five dollars for birth certificates to fourteen dollars for dissolution of marriage certificates with the other records falling in between the two.

At the county level, the search for public records is the province of the Office of the Clerk-Recorder. Searches here are not as exhaustive as a state level search, but are considerably faster because they are limited only to within their territorial jurisdiction. A search here, however, has far more types of records available, although vital records are also limited to informational and authorized copies. For vital records, the procedure is the same as the state level, though the forms would have to be downloaded from the website of the clerk-recorder.

For other types of records, however, the procedure is for the searcher to personally go to the office and make the request there. Once the permission is given, copies would be made available to the searcher at a rate of one dollar per regular sized paper of the record. The records available range from court records to property records and arrest records.

Another method of searching for records is to use the internet. There are a number of online databases that may be of assistance in this endeavor. These databases are easy to locate and use, and most of them provide their information for free despite the fact that their records are the same as the records in the two levels. Internet searches are also faster and more efficient, and they could be done at home so that the searcher does not have to leave their houses or even to fall in line.
