- Court cases by name: the Los Angeles Superior Court index and Santa Monica court records search
- Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates: the county RR/CC or California Department of Public Health, listed under Santa Monica vital records
- Voter status and voter-file requests: Los Angeles County RR/CC Elections, explained with Santa Monica voter registration records
- Staff, school, business, and historical listings: the source-specific Santa Monica people directories
