Does the Recorders Office have copies of birth, marriage, and death records?
Not generally. If the birth, marriage, or death took place in Kankakee County, the documents are archived by the Kankakee County Clerk’s Office, which is located on the main floor of the Kankakee County Administration building at 189 East Court St in Kankakee, Illinois. Occasionally, individuals born outside of Kankakee County chose to record their vital records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates with the Recorder’s Office so that copies of them are readily available locally. Doing so is completely optional, and not required by any local, State or Federal laws.
