County Raises Fees on Birth, Death Certificates
- Share via
It became a bit more expensive on New Year’s Day to arrive or depart from this world as Los Angeles County officials began charging $2 more for birth and death certificates.
The cost to get a certified copy of a birth record from the recorder/county clerk will be $18. A death record will be $13, officials said.
Local officials will use 35 cents of the $2 fee increase to protect against fraudulent use of birth and death records.
The state registrar will use the rest to fund a statewide database.
