Arizona Updated Information Online On Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Arizona is one of the few states in the country that does not allow its residents to access the vital records of other people. This simply means that the people of Arizona can only request for their personal documents including the Arizona Public divorce records.

Divorce records in Arizona are used in a number of ways. One is to process government transactions. There are certain transactions in the government that would call for a copy of a divorce certificate especially those that involves financial matters as well as the updating the list of dependents and beneficiaries. A divorcee cannot remarry without presenting the divorce certificate during marriage application. Divorce records are also one of the references when updating the family tree. Although, it may not be as important as other documents such as birth and death certificates, problems can be encountered by future generations if the separation of a couple is not updated on the family records.

Divorce certificate is the documentation of the separation of a married couple. This document would contain important details about the separation which includes the complete names of the husband and wife. One would know where and when they were granted legal separation well as the prosecutor who processed the divorce. The given information is the only information that the public can see, since further details of the divorce are kept private.

Further details about the separation are kept confidential. This includes the reason why the couple filed for divorce. The name of the one who filed the petition is also kept away from public access. The information about the child custody as well as the agreement about the assets and properties of the couple also remains private. This was done to respect the privacy of the divorcees. It also helps avoid any scrutiny that the couple may get from the other parties.

Being a closed state, Arizona, does not release a copy of divorce certificates and decree through the Vital Records Section of the state's Department of Health. One has to check with the county clerk office where the divorce was filed and registered and see if the needed document is available there. Guideline for the retrieval of the said document is not the same for all counties; however, it is important that one should know the basic information of the record that is being requested to make the search easier and simple. The fees for the retrieval of a divorce certificate would also vary per county. It usually takes 2 hours for a document to be obtained but then again, it can be different in some other counties. Request can also be made over the phone but this can take time at most 3 weeks.

Arizona divorce decrees and records are among the most requested file in the state. This prompts the local government of Arizona to develop an online storage system where divorce records can be electronically stored. With this, retrieval is simplified and hastened. This is very useful to those who cannot go to a certain office because of a valid reason.
