Free Public Divorce Records And Marriage Licenses

By Claire Dowell


The Florida Vital Records Office is the office in-charge of safekeeping Florida Divorce Records. Divorce files in Florida since 1927 are kept at the office, side-by-side with marriage files. Do not worry if you cannot find the files because sometimes they are termed as Dissolution of marriage. They are not two different things; it is just another name for it.

Any individual has the right to request for the records as long as the proper procedures are followed. A request form is available at the Vital Records office. The form needs to be filled out appropriately. All required fields of information like your name, address, contact number and reason for requesting the records should be included. Once that is done, submit the form back to the office, along with two forms of identification - one being a government-issued ID - and the appropriate fees. Once the fees are settled, a no-refund policy takes into full effect regardless of the outcome of the search.

One of the necessary pieces of information that you need to be able to supply when requesting for a divorce records are the year when the divorce was finalized and which county finalized it. Divorce files are initially filed under a county's Clerk of Courts. Once they are finalized, they are then submitted to the Vital Records office where they are stored along with other public files. If you want to acquire a divorce file but are not aware when it took place and which specific county has it, head directly to the Vital Records office and they will be the one to redirect your request to the exact county who has the files. The office only keeps files from 1927 onwards, which means all files that were filed before that year are only available at the county of Clerk of Court where they were initially filed.

You may also request for the records of other people. However, you should be very specific with your reason why you want to obtain them. For instance, people who are about to get married and want to check if their partners have a history of being married in the past and is not divorced yet, this is allowed. They are allowed because it will create more trouble in the future if you get married to someone who is still officially married to someone else.

Divorce files can also be acquired from online search tools. There are several you can find on the Internet but before choosing which one to use, investigate first, through a quick company history check, if it is a dependable source or not. Check out what feedbacks other clients have on them.

There are two kinds of search tools you can find online: those that require fees and those that offer Divorce Records Free. Paid search tools are able to supply you with more information compared to the ones that supply the files for free. They can even, depending on the situation, include some of the more personal information. Both kinds supply the basics of a divorce file such as the full names of the couple, their age, where they reside, and when and where the divorce was finalized. Knowing the basics of a divorce file is sufficient enough to prove or disprove the validity of a divorce.
