You might be able to order a CA DC from the following page. Best to have a proper read through first

http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/default.aspx

If you can't get an Authorized copy, you might be able to purchase an Informational copy (same details but can't be used for identification or presumably legal reasons)

Here's another informative link

http://genealogy.about.com/od/vital_records/p/california.htm

If you were asking about certificates from other States, just make an internet search including the name of the State and the words Vital Records. eg Ohio Vital Records
