Due to limited staffing and an overwhelming number of calls, voicemails, emails, and letters you may now schedule your own appointment in order to receive services from our office.
Please read and follow this entire notice BEFORE you schedule your appointment.
A MASK OR FACE COVERING IS REQUIRED for all individuals doing business within our office.
Please DO NOT make duplicate appointments or schedule an appointment for a service other than the service you require with a note about your wait time or circumstance. If you do this, your appointment will be cancelled to make room for valid appointments.
Please do not bring anyone with you unless their assistance is necessary to help you during the appointment. We will provide hand sanitizer upon entry. Please abide by the social distancing requirements of the Wayne County Clerk's Office.
Unfortunately, there is NO grace period for appointments. If you miss your scheduled appointment time, you will have to schedule another appointment online.
Due to limited staffing, no appointments will be booked between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm as that hour is observed for lunch. Please also recognize our holiday schedule to avoid booking an appointment on days observed for different holidays and building closures.
**CPL APPOINTMENTS**
For your convenience, you can attach your CPL application directly to your appointment, but you will still need to bring in your certificate. Applications will still be available in our office.
After you've completed booking your appointment, you will receive an email confirmation with a copy of the information you've submitted for your records. You will also receive a reminder email and a text before your scheduled appointment date/time for added convenience.
