LEGAL DOCUMENT ASSISTANTS
AB 620 (Chap. 458); amends B&P sections 6407, 17929, 22355, 22452, 22454
Background: Existing law defines and regulates the activities of legal document assistants, unlawful detainer assistants, process servers, and professional photocopiers. These professionals are required to register with the County Clerk in the county in which their principal place of business is located. The County Clerk of each county is required to maintain a register of, and assign a unique number to, those persons, and to issue an identification card to each registrant. The identification cards are required to have a photograph of the registrant.
The new law: Deletes the provision that requires the County Clerk to issue additional cards to employees of legal document assistants and unlawful detainer assistants. This new law also specifies that cards issued to partnerships or corporations be issued in the name of the partnership or corporation, and that no photograph be included.
