Otsego County Birth Records


The Otsego County Clerk is responsible for maintaining important documents for a county or local area, including vital documents like Otsego County birth records. These birth records include birth certificates that list the baby's name, date of birth, time of birth, and the location, as well as personal information about the parents. A Michigan birth certificate acts as legal proof of birth and citizenship, and it may be required to apply for a MI driver's license or passport, receive a Social Security number, or apply for government services. Other birth records include demographic records on birth, which are useful for researchers, as well as records on birth that can be used for Otsego County genealogical research. Birth records can be requested online at the Clerk Office website.



Otsego County Hospitals provide a variety of medical services to patients of all ages, including labor and delivery services. When a baby is born at a Hospital in Otsego County Michigan, it creates birth records for the birth. These can include ceremonial Otsego County birth certificates which list the baby's name, date of birth, weight and length, and the Hospital's name, as well as information about the parents. These ceremonial birth certificates cannot act as legal proof of identity in Michigan, but they may be a valuable source of information on an individual's birth. Hospitals also maintain demographic information on babies born at their facility, which may be accessible to researchers.
