Welcome to the Wayne County Clerk's Office

Hello, I am Cathy M. Garrett, your Wayne County Clerk

As your Wayne County Clerk, I have worked hard to deliver convenient and friendly service to residents of Wayne County and others who use our services.

The County Clerks office is responsible for the Birth, Death and Marriage licenses, Assumed business names, Notary applications, CCW and as the Clerk of the Court, the Clerk’s Office maintains the court records for the various divisions of the Third Judicial Circuit Court. We are also responsible for elections held in Wayne County for Federal, State and County offices.

In an ongoing effort to make obtaining our services more convenient, I have opened two Satellite Offices in Wayne County, one in Westland and another in Northville Township, as well as our main office downtown to help bring your needs closer to your home or business.

I am committed to enhancing your experience with the County Clerk’s office thru friendly and cooperative customer service as well as enhanced service using modern technology.

During 2009, you will find an extreme makeover to the way our office provides service via, the internet and satellite offices.

If you should experience anything less than the service you expect, please register your concern on my Customer Service hotline at 313-224-6262.

Thank you,
Cathy M. Garrett
Wayne County Clerk
