At Orange County Apostille, we assist clients across Southern California with obtaining certified documents and apostilles for international use. One of the most important figures in this process—especially for those with records from Los Angeles County—is Dean C. Logan, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk of Los Angeles County.

Whether you’re apostilling a birth certificate, marriage license, death certificate, or divorce decree, knowing who oversees the issuing authority can help ensure the process is smooth, accurate, and legally valid. In this post, we highlight the role and background of Dean C. Logan and why his office is crucial in the apostille process for anyone with documents from LA County.

📌 Who Is Dean C. Logan?

Dean C. Logan serves as the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) for Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States. Appointed in 2008 and reappointed in 2015, Logan has overseen one of the largest and most complex recordkeeping and election systems in the country.

His office is responsible for:

Recording real property documents
Filing and issuing vital records like birth, death, and marriage certificates
Issuing marriage licenses and conducting civil marriage ceremonies
Managing countywide elections

With more than 10 million residents, Los Angeles County generates an enormous volume of documents daily, and Logan’s team ensures these records are certified, secure, and accessible to the public.

📄 Why Dean C. Logan Matters for Apostille Services

If you have a vital record (birth, marriage, or death certificate) issued in Los Angeles County, chances are it bears a certified signature from Dean C. Logan or an authorized deputy. These certified documents are the foundation for obtaining an apostille from the California Secretary of State.

Under California state law, a document cannot be apostilled unless it has an official signature from a recognized authority—like Dean C. Logan’s office. His signature (or that of a deputy authorized by him) is registered with the Secretary of State, making the document eligible for authentication.

Examples of documents signed under his authority that we can apostille:

Certified Birth Certificates
Certified Death Certificates
Certified Marriage Certificates
Affidavits of Identity
Public records filed with the LA County Clerk

If you are unsure whether your LA County document is eligible for apostille, Orange County Apostille offers free document review.
