BIRTH RECORDS
This office maintains records of each birth which occurred in Lapeer
County beginning in the year 1867, however these are confidential
records. Birth records 110 years and older may be issued upon written
request and payment. On written request, a search for a specific record
will be made by the Clerk's staff. Proof of requestor's eligibility to
receive a birth record of less than 110 years will be required.
Birth records are released only to those individuals which are listed
on the record. (Parent or person named on the record) The only exception
to this would be if you have proper documentation proving that you are a
Legal Guardian, Legal Representative, Court Representative or Heir of
deceased person named on the record.
The charge for one certified copy will be $10.00 and each additional
copy of the same record requested at the same time will be $3.00. You may
stop by our office during normal business hours to obtain the record. By
State law, we are required to verify your identity, therefore we request
to see your picture identification (drivers license) prior to issuing a
record to you.
You may request a copy of your birth record by mail. Just print and
complete the
form
and sending it to us along with the required payment and documentation.
We will mail the record to you the same day we receive your request in the
mail.
