Pennsylvania Marriage And Divorce Records

by Christopher Evans

The Keystone State, or Pennsylvania, is one of the original colonies of the US. Also known as the Quaker State, it is recognized as the home of famous historical personalities and influential people. Throughout the country, students are tasked to research about the state and its people. Some people travel to Pennsylvania to meet and get to know their potential life partners. Others find their ancestral roots firmly planted in the state. These things are made possible because of the freedom to search through an individual's public records. The state has its own laws when it comes to accessing Pennsylvania Divorce Records - all US states do - but these are provisions that can be easily understood and remembered.

The main state office that is tasked with keeping public records is the Office of Vital Records or the State Department of Health. Requests for access to divorce records, however, can only be done through the Prothonotary's Office of the county where the marriage was dissolved. As each county has its own courthouse, one will need to navigate to the website of the Pennsylvania Department of Health to find out where to file the request.

Since 1804, each of Pennsylvania's states' Prothonotary's Office has held States Divorce Records. It is the Bureau of Archives, though, that keeps the records of earlier divorces: those that took place from the years 1750 to 1873, 1786 to 1815, and from the year 1800 to 1805. Also, people were informed about divorce actions through the announcements that came out of local newspapers.

As is the usual requirement, there is a fee for every divorce record request that you make. The amount varies from one county to another. However, even if you are ready to pay the fee, if you are not the record owner (or one of the two names on the record), you will not be given a certified copy of the divorce record. You can inquire ask from the Prothonotary Office, though, if there are exceptions.

Today, aside from the abovementioned state office, there is another way for you to obtain a copy of Pennsylvania Divorce Records. Throughout the Internet, you will find independent record providers who offer quality search services. These online record searchers have the same comprehensive database as state offices, but they guarantee faster and more efficient service. You see, as state offices receive loads upon loads of requests every day, it is required for you to wait for a few days or weeks (in some cases) before getting the result of your request. You get what you need within a matter of minutes. In addition, when dealing with state agencies, even if the record you requested for is not found, your payment will not be refunded. Online record providers, on the other hand, either offer their services for free or for a very minimal one-time fee.

Many prefer to pay the one-time fee because it gives them the privilege of unlimited access to all the States Divorce Records they need. This means that you can access whatever record you need or want, anytime that you have to. In anybody's instruction book, this deal is a winner. This is definitely one opportunity that you cannot afford to refuse.
