Faxing to Wayne County Circuit Court — FAQ
No. The clerk's office at Wayne County Circuit Court routes faxes to separate division lines rather than one central number. The line for records is separate from the one for your case division. Confirm the correct line for the division you are reaching before you send. Keep the confirmed number with your case file so you are not searching next time.
Label each page with the case number and the party names. Direct the cover sheet to the correct division and include a number staff can call. Attach only what the clerk agreed to accept by fax, redacting identifiers first. Reference the case number the document belongs to.
It depends on the document, and often the answer is no. A fax is most useful for a copy or a records request, not to open or advance a case. Confirm with the clerk's office before assuming a fax is the route.
