Per California Assembly Bill AB 52, effective November 1, 2010, the current fee for certified copies of birth certificates will increase by $2.00 at both the county and state level. The law does not set the fee level, but merely passed along a $2.00 increase to exisiting fees. For example, Monterey County increases from $14.00 to $16.00, Solano County fee from $19.00 to $21.00, and Sacramento County from $17.00 to $19.00. The fee at the State Department of Health Services increases from $14.00 to $16.00.
