Public Divorce Records Free Database

By Claire Dowell


Numerous marriages now end in divorce. So, if you want to determine if a person was previously divorced, you can search through South Carolina divorce records. The Freedom of Information Act which was enacted in 1966 entitles access to these legal papers for free. You can discover if a divorce certificate was actually issued or not. However, specific limitations have been established by the state in requesting for a certified duplicate of such official documents. Those who are qualified to apply are the divorce person's children who are of legal age, a current or previous spouse and an authorized person with an authenticated government issued photo ID stating the purpose of the request.

The Office of Vital Records of the Department of Health and Environmental Control conserves all divorce accounts from way back 1962. If you intend to retrieve a copy of such report, you must complete an application form and write all the important particulars as to the names of the couple and how you are related to them, your contact details and a photocopy of your photo ID.

For on-site applicants, you only have to wait around 30-45 minutes for your request to be processed. You will pay the usual searching fee of $12.00, but this amount is non-refundable if the record cannot be found. An additional amount of $3.00 will be charged for every duplicate of the same data. For those who are submitting by mail, you have to wait for 2-4 weeks before the official papers will be sent to you. The agency also accommodates individuals who wish to avail of the expedited service, but they have to shoulder an additional cost of $5.00 for every copy. In a span of 3-5 business days, the Vital Records Section will reply to you in a form of a correspondence, a telephone call or a certification mailed to your address.

Records of dissolved marriages which happened after April 1949 are archived at the Clerk of Court where the divorce certificate was granted. The amount one has to pay for a duplicate of such data varies depending on location.

You can also ask for a duplicate of the official file online through the state-approved online record provider. You will have to make an additional payment of $9.50 aside from the state's usual rate. But this option is only for those whose name is evident in the certificate, otherwise, your request will not be accepted.

One retrieves a copy of a certain divorce paper for personal or monetary reason. Fortunately, easy access to such important information are now made possible by various online record providers. These resources are increasing in number, so you can select which site is apt for your needs. If you have experienced failure in marriage, but you are willing to give it one more try, investigate first your potential significant other. Making use of public divorce records will prove to be of greatest advantage to you. Bid farewell to long waiting periods and unnecessary travel to state offices and other organizations because you will get what you need in a breeze.
