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 member of the general public are given the right to access divorce documents, provided that the proper process is observed. Requestors can secure a request form at the Vital Records office. There are certain pieces of information that must be supplied on the form such as the name of requestor, residence address, contact details and motive for wanting to get the document. The completed form is to be submitted back to the office along with two IDs, one of which must be a government-issued ID, and the corresponding fees. The fees are non-refundable regardless of whether the requested document is found or not.

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.

Requesting the documents of other people is permitted, although it depends upon the situation. A person who wants to do a marital history check on their potential lifetime partner is allowed to access his or her partner's documents. This is considered a valid course of action because it will definitely cause some serious problems should it be proven later on in the marriage that one of the couple is officially involved in another marriage.

The records can also be obtained from online service providers. There are a number you can found on the Web but, sadly, not all of them can be trusted. So before jumping on the first one you can find, conduct a quick background check on it and a few more others and find out if they are a reliable source for divorce records or not. One way of doing that is by reading what other users are saying about 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.
