The Wayne County Clerk’s Office Vital Statistics Records Division has a new home not too far away from its previous location in downtown Detroit.
Formerly located in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, the new office is located on the sixth floor at 400 Monroe St. in downtown Detroit and is scheduled to open to the public by appointment on July 31, 2023. The relocation is expected to streamline services and create a more customer-friendly experience for visitors seeking vital statistics records.
“I have long advocated for this move to merge our Vital Statistics Records offices into one location for customer and staff convenience. It is exciting to see the vision become a reality and realize that it will significantly enhance the customer experience,” said Wayne County Clerk Cathy M. Garrett, who has championed the vision and the execution of the consolidation and relocation.
“The new office can now accommodate 108 people in our waiting area where our offices at the old location could only accommodate seating for eight people at a time. In addition, we also have a new Wedding Chapel and will soon be returning to offering in-person weddings around September of this year.”
Garrett said the new office is a comprehensive one-stop shop, offering an array of vital records services, including marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, assumed names, notary oaths, and CPL (Concealed Pistol License) services.
The consolidation of all Vital Statistics Records appointments in one location is expected to simplify the process for visitors and streamline services. This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts by the Wayne County Clerk’s Office to enhance customer service and improve accessibility to vital records.
