| Could you please simplify the following sentences or phrases and give the meaning of them in easy English for me? 1. County Clerk 2. State File Number; Does it mean the “file of the state” or “tell / specify the file number”? 3. Department of State, Wisconsin-What does it mean when such Department located in the state of Wisconsin and the name signed by someone else, not Collin Powel (Secretary of States)? I understand that the Department in the United States is a Ministry in my country, but when such a department situated in different state, what should it be meant? And also Department of Death & Vital Statistics, State of Florida What does the Secretary of State, Florida mean, while the Secretary of States means Minister of Foreign Affairs in my country, please? 4. Department of Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (County of Los Angeles) Best regards, Piak |

2. State file number: This would apply to any state matter that has a file. This number would be for data retrieval. 3. Each State has a Secretary of State or equivalent, which is nothing at all like our federal Secretary of State. A State's Secretary of State handles State regulatory matters such as issuing driver's licenses and other similar functions. The titles and assignment of functions vary from state to state. Death and vital statistics may fall under the Health Department in many states. Some have a separate department. States also have Attorneys General. They are the chief lawyers for the 50 states and their offices handle things that incluse consumer affairs, professional licensing and discipline, and elections. 4. Department of Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (County of Los Angeles): This would be the County Clerk's office in other counties. |
