Due to Governor Evers' SAFER AT HOME EMERGENCY ORDER and guidance from Milwaukee County Health Officials, the County Clerk's Office is closed to the public EXCEPT for service of legal documents and claims against Milwaukee County, which can be done Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. However, we have implemented a virtual marriage license application process.
The safety of our customers and employees is our priority. Thank you for understanding during this difficult time in our community.
Your County Clerk
