NoticeIf you are not sure if the death occurred in any of the above cities listed for Wayne County or if it may have been the City of Detroit, I strongly advise having a Death Index Search done first. This will validate the correct location of the death certificate.   Reason for: These records are in two different locations.   Wayne County Death Records are filed and stored with the Wayne County Clerk downtown Detroit.  Conversely, the City of Detroit Deaths are filed and stored with the Detroit Health Department approximately 8 miles north of downtown Detroit.
Again if you are unsure of the death location within Wayne County, and feel the death may have been in Detroit -Request a Detroit Death Index Request.   Otherwise, the death certificate with the Wayne County Clerk is not guarenteed.
