An actuator device manufacturing method includes: a preparation step of preparing an actuator device including a support portion, a movable portion, a connection portion, and a metal member disposed such that a stress acts on the metal member when the movable portion oscillates; an oscillation step of oscillating the movable portion for a predetermined time; an acquisition step of acquiring a parameter related to a viscous resistance in a vibration of the movable portion; and a determination step of determining that the actuator device is qualified, when a difference between the parameter acquired in the acquisition step and a reference value corresponding to the parameter at a start of the oscillation step is a predetermined value or more in a direction in which the viscous resistance decreases, and determining that the actuator device is disqualified, when the difference is less than the predetermined value.
