Illinois Public Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Vital information like divorce decrees are made open to the general public. Civilians with the proper credentials and requirements can effectively obtain public documents such as divorce certificates, marriage licenses, birth records, and death reports. In the state of Illinois, documents like these are maintained and disseminated by the Illinois Department of Public Health through its Division of Vital Records, which is in charge of the agency's database of vital documents. The Illinois divorce records in this office can be traced back to January of 1962. Unfortunately, though, certified copies of divorce documents are not accessible at the said office.

The Illinois Department of Public Health is capable of disseminating certified copies of vital documents such as birth certificates and death reports. When it comes to marriage and divorce papers, on the other hand, you may only verify public records that are registered in their office. A five dollar verification fee will be charged to each requester, in the form of money order, or certified or personal check. You will need to comply with the procedures and requirements set forth by the Division of Vital Records of the Illinois Department of Public Health.

If you are interested in obtaining a certified copy of a particular divorce certificate, you may contact the Clerk of Circuit Court in the county where the divorce was settled. You should ask the person on the other line for some guidance on how to proceed with acquiring a certified copy of the divorce report you want, what the costs are, and what the requirements may be. Keep in mind that each county office may have different processing charges, procedures, and requirements.

The Illinois State Archives may also be a good alternative source of public information, especially for those who are conducting genealogy research. The Illinois Regional Archives Depository or IRAD maintains an impressive divorce index much earlier than those maintained by the Division of Vital Records. It's no surprise that many researchers, especially those involved with genealogy, frequent this particular office for fact checking and data gathering.

For the purposes of background checks and personal history research, online record providers can be a viable information resource. Compared to your standard government information service, record search websites are much more convenient and cost-efficient, not to mention practical. Many reputable online information services are highly capable of disseminating accurate and up-to-date public information, certificates of birth to divorce decrees. All you'll need is a laptop and a stable Internet connection.

If you decide to go with a record retrieval website, you will need to register an account and pay the one-time fee. In return, you will have unlimited searches and unrestricted access to the provider's database of public information. Once the registration process is complete, you can start running searches from your own home or office. If you are interested in someone's divorce records, all you have to do is enter the name and the state. It doesn't get more complicated than that. Quick and comprehensive results are what you can expect from such service.
