In New York, the County Clerk files Business Certificates (the DBA for sole proprietors, GBL § 130), keeps notary records, and records deeds. Marriage licenses are not issued here — apply at the NYC City Clerk →. LLC/corporation names go through the NY Department of State →, and birth & death certificates come from the local registrar or NYS Vital Records → (NYC events use the NYC Health Department).
