North Carolina Divorce Records
Divorce Records in North Carolina - Divorce records can be used to verify that a divorce has taken place or for genealogical purposes. They can be found at the local courthouse in the County Divorce Records where the divorce was filed and finalized. States usually have a database of the divorces that have occurred in their jurisdiction as well.
Typically, the states maintain a central repository for records of this nature. Although states will provide copies of divorce records upon request, certified copies are typically available at the County Divorce Records offices only. The state repository in North Carolina only has divorce records dated past January 1958.
In order to locate divorce records, a written request should be given to the local County Divorce Records courthouse. In North Carolina, the Clerk of the Superior Court should be contacted. A small fee is required and the cost can be acquired by calling the following number: (919) 733-3526. Some counties accept credit card payments or checks.
Basic information about the divorced couple is included on the record. This typically includes the following information:
• the husband’s full name
• the wife’s full name (with maiden name)
• the County Divorce Records name where the divorce took place
• the filing date of the divorce
• the date of the finalized divorce
• the certificate number
Some states also list the number of the couple’s children under the age of eighteen at the time the divorce was filed.
If you do not know the name of the County Divorce Records, you can conduct a search on past and present spouses that will also produce the address. This can then be used to conduct a search for the divorce records. Once a request is made, it takes between two to ten days to complete depending on the completeness of the information and the availability of other staff.
Follow the guidelines here to produce a more efficient search.
1. Print or type each name and address clearly to avoid confusion. This includes the full name of both the husband and the wife. The maiden name should be included for the wife.
2. Keep your request brief and to the point.
3. Limit your request to one document.
4. Include the full names of the individuals, including nicknames and alternate spellings that may have been used.
5. Include the full address of the individual at the time of the divorce, including street, city or town, and state. If you know the County Divorce Records in which the divorce took place, include that as well.
6. Include the date that the divorce was finalized. If you do not have this piece of information available, include a time frame for the search. Generally, it is best to specify a short span of years for an unknown year search. You can always expand the number of years that you search, and a shorter span will lead to a shorter search. You can expect to pay an additional fee for searches such as this that require more effort.
7. Include contact information where you can be reached in the event that more information is required. Include a daytime telephone number, as well as, an evening telephone number. You may also include a fax number or an e-mail address.
8. You should include your relationship to the individual’s listed in your search request.
9. You should include the purpose of your request.
10. Print your name clearly and sign your request. Some states may also require additional identifying information on you as well, including a driver’s license number.
11. Include a SASE, or self addressed stamped envelope with your request for a speedier delivery.
12. Include the date that you mail your request with your correspondence.
