Okay for those of you that need to know, this is where you get passports!!! All the paperwork and bring a money order for the total cost or checks. Take your paperwork and make copies of the birth certificate and license and all the paperwork to prove they will submit the original plus copy.

The lovely ladies here were so kind and helpful with my Passport. Scheduling with them was also very easy and efficient when it’s hard to find appointments right now. Will definitely recommend to friends & family!

Our county public law libraries play an important role in providing Californians from all backgrounds with resources to conduct their legal affairs and preserve their legal rights. Self-represented litigants and other non-attorneys represent more than half of the users in most law libraries. In many counties, the law libraries and law librarians are often the last and only option to obtain legal information for litigants who plan to represent themselves in court as well as those looking to find answers to their various legal questions. Every user – general public, students, lawyers, and the courts – is a primary stakeholder in law library services.

A mission of all public law libraries is to provide access to timely, reliable, and accurate legal information in a format that can be understood and used by the greatest number of people. This mission is critical to the expectations of the judiciary in order to be able to rule promptly, accurately, and with justice on the variety of issues brought before the courts. A 2014 white paper from the American Association of Law Libraries explains the myriad ways law libraries contribute to the administration of an effective access to justice system and how libraries successfully work with others on the front lines of access to justice.

By providing ready access to legal information, our county law libraries address a fundamental role in preserving the public's access to justice and the effective functioning of the judicial system

Would not recommend this place, especially if you need help...the director at this place (“JAN”) is condescending and rude. JAN, just because I do not have all the information, it does not mean that I am lying to you and I do not Appreciate you insinuating repeatedly that I was. I called you for help and you knew exactly what I was talking about, if you did not, you wouldn't have suggested that I called the courthouse back and get the proper information after I called you the second time (which would have been helpful if you told me that the first time I called instead of insinuation that I was lying) after I called you back for the second time, to tell you how unprofessional you were being, you proceeded to patronize me. “I am sorry you feel like I was...” like I told you that’s not an apology Jan, my feelings have nothing to do with what I called you about, and FYI, “I’m sorry you feel that way” is not an actual apology JAN. what it actually means is” I’m sorry you feel like I did something that I actually did not do” JAN. After I confronted you and asked for your name that's when you tried to change your demeanor.
You're rude JAN, if I am a random person calling for help and you speak to me like that, I wonder how you treat your employees JAN. You are the director, which means that you're the head, and as the head, you have to conduct yourself as such, you have to set the standard foa customer service JAN.
If anyone above JAN or JAN Herself would like to speak to me, I am open to chat.
Like I told you earlier on the phone, you have a wonderful day JAN.
