Records Retrieval

The most common records on file at the Orange County Clerk’s office are land records (deeds, mortgages, assignments and discharges), and civil and criminal records. Birth and death records can be obtained from city or town clerks (see list below) or by contacting the Bureau of Vital Statistics at (877)854-4482 or www.vitalchek.com.

When requesting documents from the County Clerk’s office give the index number (if possible), the type of record, a filing date (if known), and the names of the parties or the business name.

Please allow five (5) working days for copies before picking them up at the County Clerk’s office. Records stored off-site and records of a genealogical or archival nature may take longer to retrieve.
