All other records may be requested in writing by completing a FOIA Request for Public Records Form and emailing to lanet@clareco.net.

FINGERPRINT SERVICES

The Clare County Sheriff's Office operates on a live scan fingerprint machine, a machine that digitally scans and transmits fingerprints to the State, who in return sends the results directly to the requesting agency, usually via email within days of receipt.

Costs for prints may vary, depending on reason for prints.  Payment is expected at the time of prints, and you must bring your Michigan Driver's License or Identification Card.  Additionally, paperwork indicating the reason for prints must be presented.

In order for prints to be electronically submitted, the requesting agency (ex: school) has an identifying Agency Number that is required for transmission.  Check with your employer for this number.  Bring a notice in writing requesting that you be fingerprinted with the Agency Number, Agency Information, your Name and Information, and Reason for prints (ex: SE for School Employment).

Typically, the machine is available Monday-Friday between 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, excluding holidays. Persons are advised to call ahead to inquire about fees.  We do not always have change available, so exact cash, check, or money orders is appreciated.  We are unable to accommodate children while you are being fingerprinted, so please make prior arrangements.

Please contact the front office during normal business hours for more information at 989-539-7166, ext. 4220
