Oakland County Public Records
Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson joined by librarians from across the county with a new pilot project to improve and expand access to Oakland County's public records.
The LIBRARY C.A.R.D Project (Convenience & Access to Records and Documents) will put brochures and manuals in libraries throughout the county to help instruct computer users on how to access and order Oakland County's public records.
"So many of our citizens aren't aware that they can apply online for a marriage license, or watch a video on how to vote, request their deed, order a copy of their child’s birth certificate, use court records to check out a company or find out who is contributing money to local candidates – all from a computer," Johnson said. "Our local libraries, already a phenomenal resource to their communities, graciously agreed to help us get the word out about online public records at our website at www.oakgov.com/clerkrod."
Using online services can save residents the trip to the Clerk/Register of Deeds office in Pontiac and gas money to get there. Residents can order the documents while online at their local library and have the records mailed to their home.
