Orange County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen proudly announces the department’s North County branch office will reach its fifth anniversary on March 1, 2024. Located at 222 S. Harbor Blvd., Ste. 110, Anaheim, CA 92805 inside of the Wells Fargo Building, the North County branch office is a convenient spot for the North Orange County residents to receive many essential services and features two beautiful ceremony rooms for couples to tie the knot.
“I am proud to reach the five-year milestone of our North County branch office as it is a testament to the positive reception from our customers and hard work of our team,” said Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen. “We are excited to provide great service for many years to come.”
Over the past five years, the North County branch office provided many services and implemented innovative technologies to enhance efficiency and cultivate excellent customer service. In 2023, the North County branch office issued 5,435 marriage licenses, performed 2,138 marriage ceremonies, issued 42,638 vital records, recorded 4,712 real property documents, filed 3,647 fictitious business name statements, accepted 4,716 passport applications, and took 3,574 passport photos. In January 2022, Clerk-Recorder Nguyen implemented the software, Qtrac, permitting customers at this office to be placed in a digital queue. Customers could opt to receive text message updates on their mobile device confirming their place in line and their turn for service. This technology reduced lines and enabled staff to monitor the queue and optimize efficiency by deploying more resources as needed. The North County branch office was where Clerk-Recorder Nguyen first launched the live stream ceremony service in October 2023. Couples getting married at this location have the option to invite loved ones from anywhere in the world to watch their ceremony in real time using Zoom.
