North Carolina Public Divorce Records

by Christopher Evans

Vital documents such as marriage certificates and divorce decrees are open to the general public. In North Carolina, any individual with the right credentials can obtain certified copies of North Carolina divorce records and other public documents they might need. Such sensitive files are the responsibility of the state's Department of Health and Human Services. It is tasked with the housing, maintenance, and proper dissemination of the said reports. Through its Vital Records Division, interested parties can file their requests for the vital records they want to obtain.

Since marital records in the state of North Carolina are deemed public information, any member of the public who wishes to obtain a specific marriage or divorce certificate can do so by completing the appropriate request forms. They do, however, have to present the needed requirements and proper credentials before they can access any of the documents housed at the Vital Records Division. The division can disseminate to the public divorce documents that were filed on or after the 1st of January 1958 up to the present.

When it comes to research, having access to relatively recent and current public documents may not always be enough. Sometimes we may require access to much older vital documents, especially when performing genealogy research or back tracing someone's lineage or bloodline. And since the Vital Records Division is only capable of providing access to records no earlier than 1958, it's not surprising that many experienced researchers are turning to other sources of information. In this case, the Clerk of Court in the county where the divorce was granted may be a good starting point if you are looking for information regarding divorces which took place much earlier than 1958.

Each of the 100 counties in the state of North Carolina may have varying policies regarding the vital information request process. Transaction and application fees may also differ. Contacting the specific county office may help you obtain useful information on how you can file your request effectively. Ask the person in charge about the availability of the document you are interested in, and don't hesitate to ask for some assistance if you need it. You will find all 100 counties' contact information and addresses on the official state website.

In addition to state and county sources, you might also want to consider using the Internet as a tool for gathering public information. Adept researchers have been using online resources as a means to obtain vital data for years. You should, however, take into account the type of data fetching service to utilize. Not every online record provider has the actual capability of providing comprehensive and up-to-date vital record accounts. Moreover, a service that is cost-efficient is also an important characteristic that most people look for in an online resource.

Opting for a reputable online record provider will give you a wide array of options when it comes to obtaining a person's background history, from his birth certificate to his divorce records and other vital information. And as far as the cost is concerned, most reliable record search websites will offer their services in exchange for a nominal one-time fee. Once you are a registered member, you will never have to pay for a record search ever again. All you have to do is login to your account and start performing searches.
