Illinois Public Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


The divorce records Illinois manages are open to public access. This means that the local residents of the state can request it whenever they need it. This was done in accordance to the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act.

The residents of Illinois use divorce certificates in a number of ways. There are government transactions that would require a copy of divorce records in order to proceed with the request. Without it request may not be processed. Transactions such as insurance and any other financial matters are examples of transactions that call for such documents. Conducting a background check is also another use of this type of document. This is mostly done by individuals who wish to check the marital status of the ones they are dating. By doing so, they can prevent problems by the time they plan to marry. A divorce certificate is one of the requirements when a divorcee wishes to marry again, without it application for marriage may not be granted.

As the name suggest, a divorce record would contain information about the separation of a married couple. One would know the names of the husband and wife who decided to separate. Important dates such as the date of marriage and the date of divorce are indicated on the document. The certificate document would also show the place where the couple was granted legal separation.

One can only find the basic details of the separation. The rest of the information remains private and confidential. This includes the reason why the couple decided to file divorce. Also, one cannot find information about the custody of the kids as well as financial matters such as the division of assets and properties on a public document. This was done to respect the privacy of the divorcees.

Unlike other states, the state of Illinois does not release copies of divorce records from the office of the state's Department of Health. One can only obtain a copy of a divorce record from the county where the separation was granted. Fees are not standardized per county because it can vary depending on the type of request and the extent of the search that was done in order to retrieve the document. It is recommended to provide all necessary information about the record that is being requested to hasten the search. Also details about the requesting individual should be indicated on the application form along with the reason for requesting the document.

Retrieval of marriage and divorce records in Illinois is now easy with the help of the Internet. Requesting it online has simplified the retrieval process since there is no need to go to any office to file the request. There are several websites that offers such service one can choose between paid search and a free search. However, many would prefer the paid search in order to get quality results.
