MI	*ALL*	Due to the Michigan Supreme Court Order (ADM 2020.26) requiring all Michigan courts to redact DOB’s and other ID from the court PAT and the clerk’s computers, there will be delays for individuals with /possible records.

Appriss MI researchers are registered and all courts are complying with DOB requests. Process is still slow in some counties, and delays should continue to be expected until the process is solidified.	*4/11/2022*
