New York County Clerk Offices

Select your county to find office hours, fees, forms, and what to bring

🏢 In New York, the County Clerk files Business Certificates (the DBA for sole proprietors, General Business Law § 130), authenticates notaries, and records deeds. Note that marriage licenses come from a town or city clerk — in New York City from the NYC City Clerk — not the County Clerk ($40 statewide, $35 in NYC, 24-hour wait). A license issued anywhere in New York is valid anywhere in New York.
