The Oakland County Clerk's Mobile Office is heading to the West Bloomfield Public Library for mobile office hours on Thursday, June 21, announced Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard Jr.

Anyone who lives in the area or surrounding communities is welcome. The Mobile Office will be available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the library, located at 4600 Walnut Lake Rd., West Bloomfield.

“We've put most of our services on our website, but we realize that there are people without Internet access or those who may be more comfortable with personal service.  And there are some services that are just better done in person," Bullard said in a release.

The Mobile Office is a no-frills operation. Employees set up shop in borrowed space with laptop computers and printers so they can provide customers with on-the-spot copies of birth certificates, death certificates and other public records. Normal copy fees apply. Citizens can access many services, including:

• Certified Copies of Birth, Death and Marriage Records
• Marriage License Applications
• Notary Public Applications
• Registration of Assumed Names and Co-Partnerships
• Military Discharge Forms
• Passport Applications & Photos
• Copies of Property Records and Deeds
• Oakland County Circuit Court Records
• Identity Protection Information
• Voter Registration
• Absentee Ballot Application Forms

Bullard stressed there is no additional expense associated with the Mobile Office because resources, including employees and computers, are simply being redeployed in regional locations.

"Our job is to provide citizens the best possible service at the lowest possible cost, whether we are serving them in their community, or at our main office in the Oakland County Courthouse in Pontiac.”
