What is the County Clerk requirement?
No separate county clerk step: the Office of the Great Seal authenticates documents notarized by a Michigan notary public and certified vital records from the State Registrar or a county clerk.
Can I walk in?
No walk-ins. In-person service is by appointment only (Mondays or Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.) at the Office of the Great Seal, 430 W. Allegan Street, Lansing, and select Secretary of State offices.
