This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull official documents, file paperwork, or issue certified copies for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.

Here's where to look for the records most people ask about in St. Joseph County:
- Court case files: contact the St. Joseph County Clerk or the relevant Circuit Court
- Marriage and divorce records: see marriage and divorce records
- Probate, wills, and estates: see probate records
- Criminal and arrest records: see arrest records and charges
- Jail and custody questions: see inmate records
- Active warrants: see warrant records
- Traffic citations: see traffic court records
The County Clerk's office is the official record keeper for the 45th Circuit Court. Court records in Michigan are not public-records-act records, so case files are requested through the court's own copy process rather than a FOIA portal.
