Clerks' Offices Remain Closed

The Clerks Offices in Redwood City and South San Francisco remain closed due to budget reductions and reduced staffing. The Juvenile Clerk's Office is open from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Exceptions: The Redwood City Civil, Small Claims, Family Law, and Probate Clerk's Offices will continue to process emergency ex parte matters, domestic violence, elder/dependent adult abuse and civil temporary restraining order petitions and civil ex parte matters. The Redwood City and South San Francisco Offices will process Search Warrants and Arrest Warrants for Police Agencies. The Clerk's Offices', in all locations, drop boxes are open for permitted filings. Next year's budget will allow the Court to increase staffing levels and the Court plans to reopen the Clerk's Offices as soon as we achieve the necessary staffing levels.
