Official Tehama County certificate information and application options. Follow the county’s instructions for the copy type and request method you need.
Before you start
- Processing time · Birth and death certificates by mail
- Please allow 2 working days, after receipt, to process your request. [11]
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
- Information & documents · New marriage license — standard in-person application
- If either party has been granted a dissolution of marriage within 90 days of applying for a new marriage license, a copy of the final dissolution decree must be presented at the time of the issuance of the license. [19]
Use the county statement/instructions and review its filing, additional-name and copy fees. Publication and a business license are separate from the FBN filing itself.
Before you start
- Deadlines · Initial filing — state deadline
- File within 40 days after starting business under the fictitious name. [20]
- 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. [21]
- 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. [22]
- Information & documents · Newspaper notice — publication frequency
- Publish once a week for four successive weeks. [23]
- 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. [24]
- Deadlines · Expiration — earlier changes or abandonment can end the statement
- A statement generally lasts five years, but changes or abandonment can end it earlier. [25]
- 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. [26]
- 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. [27]
- 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. [28]
