Michigan has been maintaining birth records since 1867 when the government made it mandatory to begin recording vital events such as births.
Michigan is a closed record state, which means that certified copies can only be requested by the person named on the certificate, as well as their immediate family members (including spouse) and lawyers representing them. Birth records in Michigan become public once they are 100 years old, which is for births in 1924 and before.
