When it comes to handling official documents like birth certificates, marriage records, and real estate deeds in Riverside County, one name stands behind the certification—Peter Aldana. As the elected Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder (ACCR) for Riverside County, Aldana plays a critical role in the proper issuance, recording, and preservation of public records. At Orange County Apostille, we work closely with documents that bear the official seal of his office—especially when they require an apostille for international use.

Who Is Peter Aldana?

Peter Aldana is a seasoned public servant with over 30 years of experience in local government. Before being elected ACCR in 2014, he served in multiple leadership roles within Riverside County’s Assessor’s Office, including as Chief Deputy Assessor. Since taking office, Aldana has led the Clerk-Recorder’s department with a strong focus on modernization, efficiency, and public accessibility.

He was re-elected without opposition in 2018 and continues to oversee a broad range of services, including:

Recording real estate and property ownership documents
Issuing birth, death, and marriage certificates
Performing civil wedding ceremonies
Maintaining public records for both legal and historical purposes

Aldana is recognized for bringing digital improvements and operational transparency to the County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, streamlining how residents access essential documents.

Why Peter Aldana’s Name Matters on Apostilled Documents

When you submit a Riverside County document for apostille, the signature of Peter Aldana or his authorized deputy is often what the California Secretary of State’s office verifies. The Secretary of State maintains a reference file of authorized county officials, and if the document is not signed by a verified official, the apostille request may be rejected.

For this reason, Aldana’s signature or an embossed seal from his office is crucial for:

Birth and death certificates
Marriage certificates
Marriage licenses
Real estate transaction records
Name change documentation
Business filings (DBAs or FBNs)

At Orange County Apostille, we ensure that your Riverside County documents are properly certified by Aldana’s office before submission for apostille. If the document lacks the appropriate signature or seal, we guide clients on how to request a new certified copy that meets apostille requirements.
