*1805 Michigan laws required counties to record marriages
*Marriages are kept by the county clerk for each county and begin at the creation of the county
*1 April 1867, the county clerk began to forward marriage records to the secretary of state
*1958 - duplicate copies of the marriages are required to be sent to the state
*An additional 1905 law resulted in greater statewide compliance
*Michigan marriage records are not restricted and can be ordered by anyone during any time period
 
{{Tip|More marriage information is usually found on the '''marriage license application''' or the '''marriage register'''. Less information is found on the '''marriage certificate'''. }}
