All birth, death, and marriage/divorce records are handled by the Oakland County Clerk Vital Records Office. There are three different ways to obtain an official copy of a record; you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
‍

The easiest method:

   ·   Place your order online with the Michigan Secretary of State.

   ·   Scroll down to the nine buttons near the bottom of the page, and click the “Order A Record Online” button (in the top-right spot).

   ·   About two-thirds of the way down the page, click the blue link that says, “Click here to Order a birth, death, marriage or divorce record online using a debit        or credit card." Follow the pages to place your order.

  ·   If you’re not sure what county the birth/death/marriage/divorce took place in or where the records are being maintained, this is the best option, as the State       can search all Michigan records regardless of location.
‍

The cheapest method:

   ·   Place your order online directly with Oakland County here.

   ·   You’ll need to be positive the birth/death/marriage/divorce took place within Oakland County for this to work.
