Free Divorce Records Search

by Claire Dowell

Getting access to any kind of information is relatively easy these days. Obtaining copies of states divorce records, for instance, is really not as tough as it seems. Every state in the country has a specific agency or office that handles vital documents for the state, from the meticulous housing of the records to its proper dissemination to the general public. There are no unanimous rules or policies when it comes to who or how the public can obtain vital information. Some states are completely open to the public, while other states are more reserved when issuing public information. Each state has its own policy with regards to the treatment of such documents.

There are two basic sources of divorce certificates. Unlike birth and death documents, which are typically accessed at the state's department of health or vital statistics office, marriage and divorce certificates in some states are available at district courts and county registrar's offices in the county where the event originated. You will need the appropriate credentials to obtain the divorce record you need. And as far as procedures and requirements are concerned, each state and county has varying policies when it comes to properly distributing vital documents to the public.

Every individual in this country has the right to access his or her own vital records. The US Freedom of Information Act of 1966 assures us that right. Having said that, any citizen of this country can access his or her own birth certificate, marriage accounts, and divorce reports. The next of kin may also acquire the death certificate of a deceased family member. Third party access, on the other hand, is another story. In most cases, birth records are only available to the public a hundred years after the date listed on the said document.

Generally, death reports, marriage licenses, and divorce certificates may only become open to third party access fifty years after the event was originally filed. To access recently recorded vital information of other individuals, you will need a notarized consent of the person in question or a court order from a judge. These restrictions are put in place to protect our privacy and the integrity of the document. So even though vital documents are considered public domain, there is a specific amount of time needed before the documents can truly be opened to the public.

As an alternative, record search websites are well equipped to disseminate vital information to any interested party. Many reputable online record providers make good and reliable information sources. Even though government agencies and their information services are dependable and effective, they still lack the practicality and cost-efficiency that most online data retrieval services are capable of offering. This is actually one of the reasons why these types of services are quite popular among many of our netizens, researchers, and genealogy experts.

If you are opting for a privately run public record search service, you need to register a valid account. A one-time fee will be charged in exchange for unlimited searches. You will have unrestricted access to the site's database of public records, from your own divorce decree to third party accounts of birth, death, or marriage.
