Requesting Certified Copies of Documents
Users may request certified copies of documents be sent directly to them by the Union County Clerk's Office. Documents can ordered online or via regular mail. If the user selects to order online then a credit card will be required for payment. If the user chooses to order via regular mail then a list of required documents must be printed. This printed list is sent to the Clerk's Office along with a check, money order, or credit card to cover the cost of copying.
