Welcome to the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Web Site/clerkrod/assets/images/ruth_homepage3.jpg

While our office is dedicated to paperwork, we know our job is people. With that goal in mind, our office will black out Social Security numbers in every standard copy of Circuit Court documents we issue. According to state guidelines, it may be 'bending the rules', but we feel this is a necessary step to safeguard private information against identity theft.

Please take a moment to visit all the new services offered on our web site, which may save you time, money and a trip to the Oakland County Court House. Also take a glance at our Clerk's Winter Newsletter and our 2008 Annual Report. Our goal is providing the best service at the lowest possible cost.

Those services include:

  • NEW - Come visit the Oakland County Clerk's Mobile Office in Lake Orion at the Orion Towship Public Library, 825 Joslyn road, on Thursday February 25th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  We will be providing a whole host of services.
  • NEWID PROTECTION SERVICE - you can now remove Social Security numbers and other personal identifying information from your court file.
  • COURT EXPLORER - which will allow you to view basic Oakland Circuit Court case information and order court documents online.
  • TRACK YOUR TAX DOLLARS - with the monthly financial updates for the Clerk & Register of Deeds Office as part of our efforts to improve transparency and accountablity in government.
  • Online CAMPAIGN FINANCE records - so you can see who is donating money to local political candidates and committees.
  • Our new ABSENTEE BALLOT TRACKING SYSTEM - which allows absentee ballot voters to track their ballot through the election system, confirming their vote has been received by their local clerk's office to be counted on Election Day.
  • Online MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATION - to save happy couples a trip to the Oakland County Courthouse. Fill it out online and come in only when your license is ready.
  • Our new 2009-2010 OAKLAND COUNTY DIRECTORY - a complete guide to services available through the Oakland County government.

As always, please contact our office if you need assistance. Our friendly, professional staff will be happy to help you at clerk@oakgov.com.

 
Sincerely,

Ruth Johnson
