Services
Genealogical and forensic services include:
- Probate and civil court case number look-up and record retrieval (Los Angeles County, 1910-2004)
- Los Angeles County directory look-ups
- Family history genealogical research and analysis using the Genealogical Proof Standard
- Tutorials to help you research your own family
Please note: If the case you seek was filed after 2004, the records must be obtained from the originating court where the case was filed or alternatively may be obtained online. Check this link to see whether you can retrieve the case number or file online: Civil Cases Online, Criminal Index Online or Divorce Records Online. Misdemeanor case records can be destroyed five years after their disposition so these may not be available.
A reminder: The Los Angeles Archives and Records Center does not include vital records such as birth certificates, marriage records, death records, property and real estate records. These documents are not available for same-day pick-up. They must be ordered online or by mail from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. You can save money by ordering these documents directly from their website.
