The MSP Public Records Request Portal is intended for members of the public to request records from the MSP. If you represent a stage agency, criminal justice agency, or government entity, and are requesting records for an official government purpose, please contact MSPRecords@michigan.gov before utilizing the Public Records Request Portal.
Contact the Records Resource Section at MSPRecords@michigan.gov or 517-241-1934 for assistance.
The Michigan State Police (MSP) Public Records Request Portal can only be accessed through the MiLogin website. A MiLogin account is free to create and provides you with access to a variety of State of Michigan applications. The portal is accessed through any state approved browser at MiLogin.michigan.gov.
If you already possess a MiLogin account, enter your User ID and Password and select “login”.
If you do not have an existing MiLogin account, select the “sign up” button to create a new account. Please do not create a new MiLogin account if you already have one to access the following online services: MDHHS MI Bridges, DNR eLicense, MDHHS myHealthButton, MiPage, Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM) or Pure Michigan Talent Connect (PMTC). Please use your existing user ID and password from those systems to log into the MiLogin portal.
It is easy to reset your forgotten MiLogin password if you follow the appropriate registration steps and provide your contact information. If you’ve misplaced or forgotten your MiLogin ID, and you provided your email during the initial registration, you can always locate it using MiLogin self-service features. If you’re locked out from your MiLogin account you can call 877-932-6424 for assistance. For other questions about MiLogin, you can select the “Help” in the top right-hand corner.
Please note, the MSP cannot reset your password or make changes to your account.
If this is your first time utilizing the Public Records Request Portal, you need to add the MSP Public Records Request Portal to your dashboard. Once requested, the application will appear on your dashboard each time you login. If necessary, complete the following steps:
The next screen covers the types of record being requested. Please select the type of record you are requesting. Use the “other” checkbox and text field to request records not commonly requested. Once all the required fields have been completed, the “next” button will be available to continue to the next screen.
Please note that fees are charged pursuant to Section 4 of the FOIA based on the estimated & actual costs to process the request. Requests seeking a large volume of records and/or video records (in-car & body-worn camera video) typically charge a fee based on the labor necessary to search for, gather, review, and redact responsive records. These requests may take longer to process than more specific requests seeking specific records from a narrow period of time.
If a response notice indicates you owe a balance, submit payment in the portal by selecting "Request Details" for the request number (CR). Select the blue “Make a Payment” button. Requestors may also utilize the online payment center. Users of the online payment center will need to search the request number (CR) to locate the request.
Please note there is a $2.00 processing fee for online payments. Payments are accepted at no fee by check or money order, made payable to the State of Michigan.
Mail to:
Michigan State Police
Cashiers Unit, P.O. Box 30266
Lansing, MI 48909
To ensure proper credit, please document the request number (CR) on the payment.
Response notices and responsive documents will be available on the portal. They will not be emailed to you. Be sure to scroll down and look for response notices below “Response Letters” and records below “Records”. To download any letters or records available, select the download symbol to the far right (pictured below).
If your request is still open, the letters and responsive records will be available by selecting “Request Details” in the bottom right-side of the request card.
If your request is complete, the letters and responsive records will be available under “past requests”. Responsive records that exceed the technological limits of the system, such as video, audio, or other record types with large file sizes will be mailed on CD, DVD, or flash drive to the address provided at the time of the request, after receipt of payment, if applicable.
