This is not a government office or a records custodian. We operate a private reference. We cannot retrieve records, certify copies, confirm an address, or change an official index. Direct those requests to the office that maintains the record. For an emergency call 911. For stalking or harassment concerns, contact local law enforcement.
Finding the Right Custodian
Use the record type to choose the contact route:
- Address, parcel, or ownership trail: use the Novi street directory and Oakland County property and deed routes.
- Historic directories or household context: use the Novi Directory Book and the Local History Room.
- Verifying one dated record: start with the Novi resident lookup path.
- Office roles: see the Novi records offices list.
- City-held public records: use Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., with the city custodian rather than making a broad request elsewhere.
