Records Search
The Orange County Clerk's office now has many records available to view online.
Click here to access online records. Please read the instructions before attempting to use the online search.
For any records not available to view online, please read below for instructions on how to obtain a copy.
Our records are open to the public and we do not restrict public access to them except in the case of special records that are closed to the public by law. If you would like to do a search yourself, you may come into our office and use our public computers and index books.
If you want us to conduct a search for you, there is a $5.00 per name charge on all searches. We do not conduct searches over the phone or by e-mail. The proper way to request a search would be to mail a request along with payment. We are unable to accept payment by credit card. We do, however, accept checks and money orders via mail. Please have as much information as possible on the record you are looking for when requesting a search. Helpful information would be:
- Real Property
- Grantor and Grantee's names
- Date property was purchased
- File date
- Physical address of property
- Probate Cases
- Deceased's name
- Date of death
- Civil Cases
