[4]
- Information & documents
- You must provide: A California Driver's License or state ID number, or The last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) (if you do not have a CA ID). If you don't have either, you can still register. You'll be assigned a unique identifier to validate your registration. [5]
- Deadlines
- In California, the deadline to register to vote for any election is 15 days before Election Day, so please register early! [6]
- Deadlines
- In elections conducted by your county elections official, you can “conditionally” register and vote at your county elections office after the 15-day voter registration deadline. For more information please go to Same Day Voter Registration. [7]
- Languages
- You can apply to register to vote right now by filling in the online application. The application is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. [8]
- Availability
- If you are enrolled in California's confidential address program, Safe At Home, please do not apply to register to vote using this site. Contact the Safe At Home program toll-free at (877) 322-5227 or by the Safe At Home email. [9]
- Eligibility & access
- To pre-register to vote in California, you must: Be 16 or 17 years old, and Meet all of the other eligibility requirements to vote. You will automatically be registered to vote on your 18th birthday. [11]
Official San Benito County certificate information and application options. Follow the county’s instructions for the copy type and request method you need.
Official county instructions for obtaining a new marriage license. Online application entry alone does not issue a license or replace the required appearance; confirm the license type, documents and visit arrangements.
Before you start
- Appointments · New marriage license — standard in-person application
- Marriage licenses are issued to applicants on the same day they arrive in the office after completing an application. No appointments are necessary. [20]
- Information & documents · New marriage license — standard in-person application
- If divorced within the last 90 days, provide proof of divorce decree or dissolution/termination of SRDP. If a spouse is recently deceased, please provide a copy of the death certificate. [21]
Use the current Clerk business-filings page for separate new-filing, renewal, search, withdrawal and abandonment links. The older county URL redirects to this official Clerk-Recorder site.
Before you start
- Deadlines · Initial filing — state deadline
- File within 40 days after starting business under the fictitious name. [22]
- Eligibility & access · Where to file — principal place of business
- File in the county of your principal California business location. If you have no California business location, file in Sacramento County. [23]
- Deadlines · New or changed filing — newspaper publication
- Start publication within 45 days after filing. Use a qualifying newspaper in the filing county, or an adjoining county if no qualifying newspaper exists there. [24]
- Information & documents · Newspaper notice — publication frequency
- Publish once a week for four successive weeks. [25]
- Deadlines · After publication — file the affidavit
- File the publication affidavit with the County Clerk within 45 days after publication is completed. Check whether your newspaper files it for you. [26]
- Deadlines · Expiration — earlier changes or abandonment can end the statement
- A statement generally lasts five years, but changes or abandonment can end it earlier. [27]
- Eligibility & access · No-change renewal — publication exception
- An unchanged renewal filed within 40 days after expiration does not need republication. Changes can require a new publication. [28]
- Information & documents · California principal business location
- Provide the street address and county of the principal business location. A registrant’s separate mailing-address rule does not remove this requirement. [29]
- Information & documents · Individual registrant — owner mailing address
- For an individual owner, provide the full name and business mailing address if different from the business address. Do not apply older blanket residence-address instructions. [30]
Open the current Clerk-linked new-filing application. Read the county instructions for completion; portal referral alone does not establish a completed filing.
Open the separate renewal application for an expiring FBN statement; initial filing, searching and abandonment use different links.
San Benito County instructions and online requests for recorded copies. Recorded maps have different search keys from an Assessor parcel query.
Before you start
