Sorry but that is too specific for a state-wide Q&A service. You need to contact the city and county business licensing authorities for their specific requirements. To operate as a sole proprietor you don't need any formal documents to create that business unless you want to operate under something other than your personal name, such as "John Smith Cleaning." If you want a business name such as "JS Super Clean" you would have to file a fictitious business name statement with the county. The county recorder's office can help you with that.
