Illinois Public Divorce Records

by Ben Kingsley

The divorce records Illinois manages are open to public access. This means that the local residents of the state can request it whenever they need it. This was done in accordance to the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act.

There are several reasons why the people of Illinois request for a copy of a divorce certificate. One of the primary reasons is to use it in government transactions. There are some processes in the government that would require a copy of the said document. Dealing with insurance and any financial matters would call for such document. It is also used by individuals who are dating to make sure that the person they are dating is really single or legally separated. Ironically, a divorced individual cannot remarry without a legal proof of separation.

One would be able to find a lot of information from a divorce certificate that is issued in the state of Illinois. The document highlights details about the separation which includes the date and the place where the separation was made legal and official. The complete names of the involved individuals are documented on the certificate. Aside from details about the separation, one can also find information about their marriage such as where and when they got married.

Not all details about the divorce are available for public view and access. There is information that is kept away from the public to respect the privacy of the involved individuals. Information such as the custody of the children, the reason for the separation and the division of properties and assets are kept confidential. Such information is only available for access if the one who requested it is the divorcee.

In order to obtain a copy of a divorce certificate in the state of Illinois, one has to request it from the office of the county clerk where the divorce was granted. One would not be able to obtain it from the Department of Health since the said office does not release copies of the divorce certificate. One has to be ready to pay for the service fees in order to have the request granted by the county. Fees are not the same for all counties since it would depend on the type and depth of the search. The search requires one to provide the basic information about the record that is being requested along with the personal information of the one who requested it. Without this information, the search may not be processed and can be delayed if not denied.

Marriage and divorce records are only one of the many documents that are open to the public. The internet has even made the access to these document easier and hassle free. Obtaining a copy of such document through the Internet is preferred by most people in Illinois because it is convenient and fast. It has eliminated the need to go to any office and wait for days to get the requested document.
