Vital Records (Births, Deaths, Marriages)
Vital Records Pop-Up in Atascadero June 22, 2024
On Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm., the Clerk-Recorder's North County office will be open for a vital records pop-up event. The North County office is on the second floor of the Atascadero Library, at 6565 Capistrano Avenue.
The event, which offers county residents an opportunity to obtain certified birth, death, and marriage certificates, will be the first time the Clerk-Recorder has offered access to these on a weekend or outside of the County Government Center in SLO.
The cost per certificate copy is as follows: birth $32, death $24, and marriage $17. Customers will need to bring a form of ID and payment; cash, check, and credit card will be accepted (all but American Express). Appointments are not necessary, but attendees who are able are strongly encouraged to begin their application online before heading to the pop-up event, as that will streamline the process and get them their document(s) more quickly.
The online portal for beginning the process can be accessed at https://crrecords.slocounty.ca.gov/SLOWeb/action/ACTIONGROUP201S1.
