IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — OAKLAND COUNTY CLERK / REGISTER OF DEEDS

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is invested with the responsibility of serving as
the local registrar and as the custodian of vital records; and
WHEREAS Public Act 368 of 1978 authorizes the governing body of a local government with jurisdiction
over a local registrar to establish a system of fees to provide for the maintenance of a vital records
program; and
WHEREAS PA 368 provides that the fees established by a local government for certified copies of vital
records shall be equal or less than the fee amounts authorized by statute to obtain records from the state
registrar; and
WHEREAS PA 368 further provides that "these fees shall be used for the maintenance and sustenance of
the vital records fees program only. The fees shall alleviate any burden to the taxpayers to provide this
worthwhile program"; and
WHEREAS PA 368 states, "Upon formal application, the state registrar shall charge a person 65 years of
age or older a fee of $14.00 for a search for and 1 certified copy of his or her birth record"; and
WHEREAS the current fee for a search and certified copy of a birth record in Oakland County has been
set at $15.00 per record and $5.00 per additional copy of the same record; and
WHEREAS an enhanced access fee in the amount of $5.00 per item has also been established for online
requests for vital records; and
WHEREAS as a result of the adoption of MR #14083, the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds, the
County Executive and Department of Management and Budget undertook a study of Oakland County's
vital records fees to explore costs related to maintenance of the vital records program; and
WHEREAS the resulting study found that the current $15 fee for a certified record exceeded costs, "it
currently costs approximately $9.13 to produce a certified copy of a record"; and
WHEREAS the state registrar has recommended that the local fees established to provide 1 certified
copy of a birth record for individuals 65 or older no longer exceed the $14 state registrar's fee set by
statute; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County vital records fee schedule be amended
to reflect that a person 65 years of age or older shall be charged $10.00 to search and obtain 1 certified
copy of his or her birth record.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Access Oakland Master Fee Schedule be amended to reflect that
a person 65 years of age or older shall not be charged an additional fee for an online application to
search and obtain 1 certified copy of his or her birth record.
