California has modeled this after the success of the state of Nevada’s use of this technology in Nevada County Recorder offices.Ĭurrently, if a customer is unable to make a request in person at the Recorder’s office, they will request via mail or fax. The bill amends California Health and Safety Code section 103526.5 and now allows all County Recorders the authority and option to issue certified copies of birth, death, and marriage records by means of blockchain technology.
“Thankfully, with the bill now becoming law, our customers will experience a higher level of service in a safe, effective, and expedited manner.”
“Having the opportunity to have an electronic birth, death, or marriage certificate delivered electronically to customers would have been extremely beneficial during the pandemic,” noted Johnston. Sutter County is on target to be the first county in California to offer this service, said Sutter County Clerk-Recorder Donna Johnston, whose advocacy for use of secure blockchain digital technology in 2018 was the impetus for the change in the law. Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 876 September 28th which allows California County Recorders the option to deliver certified electronic versions of birth, death, and marriage records in place of paper-based certificates.
