Welcome to the archive of Report from the Register, the official e-newsletter of the office of the Philadelphia Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court. We are committed to providing you with the news and information you can use to improve your life and build your family’s legacy through generational wealth. We are here to inform you about the importance of having a will and help you through the probate process.

We also can help you clear the tangled title for your home so that you and your family can benefit from the many opportunities that home ownership provides. In addition, if you want to get married or get an official copy of your Philadelphia marriage certificate, our office is the place to come. The marriage record you receive from us is fully compliant with Real ID requirements.

Please remember, whatever circumstances life may bring your way, we will be here to serve you with knowledge and compassion.
