Court Closures & Delays

Our team is tracking court closures and access restrictions nationwide.  You may see a decline of service in certain regions as government officials continue to close or curtail access to government offices and online systems which impact our ability to gather public records. In order to inform our customers of current closures which may affect our services, we are updating this page regularly with information on court closures and possible delays.

Details Due to the Michigan Supreme Court Order (ADM 2020.26) requiring all Michigan courts to redact DOB's and other ID from the court PAT and the clerk's computers, there will be delays for individuals with /possible records.  UPDATE: a new court order has been issued (MCR 1.109) and courts are now requiring a new process whereby researchers become "registered users" who may have access to DOBs.  CIC researchers are registered and all courts are complying with DOB requests.  Process is still slow in some counties, and delays should continue to be expected.
