By Claire Dowell


All vital records in the Wolverine State are available at the Michigan Department of Community Health in the city of Lansing. Since vital documents, including Michigan marriage records, are open for public access, any US citizen can acquire a copy whenever they want. Provided, that they adhere to the state's rules and regulations when it comes to obtaining such documents. Individuals living outside the state of Michigan, or at least outside Lansing, who want to order a copy of a marriage certificate can do so by mail, in person, or through online means.

The Michigan Department of Community Health stores and preserves vital documents for the state. Marriage certificates, divorce decrees, birth accounts, and death reports, they are all available upon request. Although marriage accounts in this office can be traced back to 1867, reports filed prior to 1927 may not all be available. The standard fee for each certified copy of a marriage documents is $26. But if you are going to request extra copies, you may have to pay extra. The website of the Department of Community Health has additional information pertaining to the policies and updated fees for public records requests.

If you are going to retrieve a copy of your marriage certificate in person, you will have to visit the office at least an hour before 3 pm on a week day so your request can be processed while you wait. Otherwise, you may have to go back for it the next day. If you are trying to obtain a third party marriage report, the groom's name and the bride's maiden name will be required by the clerk in the request form, along with the date of the marriage, as well as the city or county where the event took place.

On the other hand, if you are going to submit your application by mail, you will need the appropriate request form for that as well. Although the process requires significantly less effort, you may have to wait a few days before you receive the documents you requested. The website of the Department of Community Health has downloadable forms for every type of vital record. Download the one that coincides with what you need and have it printed. Enter your name, mailing address, contact details, the name of the groom, the maiden name of the bride, and the date of the nuptials.

If the marriage profile you are trying to acquire is not available in the state office, you can try and retrieve it at the county clerk's office where the couple tied the knot. Procedures and fees differ between each county, so you may have to contact the county office or visit the county portal through the department of health's website.

For background checks and marital status searches, you may want to consider using a reputable online record search service. Besides its practicality and convenience, online record providers can save you a significant amount of time and gas mileage. For a reasonable one-time fee, you will have unlimited access to any marriage record you want, from any state or county in the US.
