Divorce Record Resources in United States by City, County, State also by Canadian Province
The study of divorce records can help to answer confusing questions when researching the family tree, as well as being important documents that are necessary for when a person goes to remarry or to apply for certain government programs. Also known as papers of annulment or dissolution, they are usually available at County Clerk�s offices or the State Department of Health buildings.
So how does one go about applying for divorce records? It�s relatively easy, provided you know the requirements. Most offices require a small fee for certified copies and, if you do not know this fee, it�s best to call or write to inquire. Once you know, you can send payment for the exact amount - but be sure you know whether you are able to send a personal check or if it must be registered check from a banking institution or a money order.
Photo identification is also a common requirement, in order to obtain divorce records. Ensure that you send a copy (never the original) of your driver�s license or state ID and ensure that the copy is clear and easy to read. Some states require a copy, not only of the front, but also the back of your card.
The following information should be included in your request:
- The full name of the bride
- The full name of the groom
- Date of marriage
- Date of divorce
- City and/or county where the marriage license was first issued
- The date of your request
- Your relation to the bride and groom
- The reason you need this information
Additionally, it is always a good idea to send a self-address stamped business envelope.
