MISSION: Promote public confidence by providing the highest level of courteous, efficient, and transparent recording, clerk, and election services to the County by the well-trained and committed staff of the Clerk-Recorder-Elections office, aided by leveraging technology with the utmost integrity, fairness, and legal compliance. In layman's terms, we serve several functions for the residents of San Luis Obispo County. Many in our community know us for the role we play in managing local elections. But we also hold and maintain all vital records for the County -- including birth, death, and marriage records that date back to 1850 -- and we maintain all real property records dating back to the formation of SLO County. Other functions of the Clerk-Recorder's Office include filing fictitious business names for residents starting a new local business and serving as the Commissioner of Civil Marriages. In this role we process marriage licenses and even conduct ceremonies in our office on designated days, and we can deputize anyone to be a marriage officiant for a day. We welcome your engagement here and on our other social media platforms, but please note that this is a moderated online discussion site and not a public forum.
