ON THE ROAD
WITH TONY...
Welcome to our March newsletter!
March is a very special month for me. Not only does March mark the official start of spring, it also celebrates "National Reading Month" across the country.
I was able to visit Ms. Katina's classroom at the County's Macomb Community Action "Head Start" location in Mount Clemens and read one of my favorite children's books, "Tooth Trouble" by Jane Clarke, to the students.
I would like to remind all our kids to brush twice daily and read for at least 20 minutes!

Now that it is officially Spring, the Macomb County Clerk's Office will see a considerable jump in marriage applications.
We have made it easy for prospective wedding couples to fill out and file their marriage applications with our office! I encourage all applicants to use the convenient on-line form found on our Marriage licenses web page and enter all their information before they visit the Clerk's Office. This will save time and ensure that all the required info is submitted.

The next election in Macomb County is Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Eastpointe Schools will have a Millage Replacement Proposal, while Richmond Schools and Roseville Schools will both have Bond Proposals. CLICK HERE for full text of the proposals.

Get ready for Spring and the approaching Opening Day for Tigers baseball. Go get 'em, Tigers!

IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER TO APPLY
Springtime Means Wedding Season
for Macomb County Clerk's Office
Now that it is officially Spring, the Macomb County Clerk's Office will see a considerable jump in marriage applications.
Clerk Forlini has made it easy for prospective wedding couples to fill out and file their marriage applications and encourages all applicants to use the convenient on-line form to enter all their information before they visit the Clerk's Office. This will save time and ensure that all the required info is submitted.
When applying in Macomb County, at least one applicant needs to be a Macomb County resident with proof of residency (current driver's license or State ID). After the online form is submitted, couples can then make an appointment to visit the Clerk's Office.
During the appointment, only one applicant needs to be present (but that applicant must be a Macomb County resident). A completed affidavit will be waiting for the applicants, and the affidavit will be notarized at that time. Then payment can be made and the couple will receive two copies of their marriage license.
A couple of tips: Applicants must make sure they apply 33 days or less before their wedding date. There is a three-day waiting period from date of application, but applicants can waive the three-day waiting period by paying a $10 waiver fee. Also, when filling out the online application, it is best to have copies of the applicants' birth records to help identify required information (like birthplaces of parents).
