Florida Free Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


If you want to get your hands on Divorce Records Florida you can look at the Florida Office of Vital Statistics. Originally, divorce records are filed at a county Clerk of Court. But since the 6th of June 1927, they are forwarded to the Office of Vital Statistics because that is the central storage for public records in Florida. For records prior to the 6th of June 1927, they are found only at the exact County Clerk of Court where they were originally recorded.

Any individual can place a request for the documents because they are deemed as part of the public domain. Requesting your own documents is allowed and you get to see everything that is included in it. You can also request for another individual's records but you will be given a limited amount of access to it so as to maintain that individuals right to privacy.

Divorce records are the only records that are recognized by the court to legally prove the end of a marriage. Hence, when a divorced person wants to enter another relationship and decide to marry again in the future, the final divorce record will be required to be shown in the application for a marriage license. Once a marriage has been officially ended, assets and liabilities will be divided according to what has been agreed upon by both parties in the presence of a judge. All terms and conditions of a divorce case can be found on the records.

Obtaining the records from the Office of Vital Statistics means that you have to complete an application form which is downloadable from their office's official website. You have to show a government-issued ID to prove your identity. Then you have to state what your relationship to the couple is and your reason for requesting the records. There is a $5 fee for each record and $4 for additional copies. The no refund policy applies even if the records you requested are not found.

To start a search, you have to provide the full name of either the man or the woman. You also have to include the year where the divorce was granted to make the searching process easier. If you are not aware of the exact year, you can provide a range of years to search. However, you have to pay $2 for each year that is searched. You also have to include your contact information so that the office knows who to send it to once the records are found.

Another way of obtaining Divorce Files is through the Internet. There are service providers that cater to providing divorce records to the public. Of course, you have to verify if a service provider is credible or not. There a lot of sources available on the Internet and sadly not all of them are legit. Perform a quick a background check and find out if a service provider has a history of providing good service. Read user reviews because they are good indicators of what their past clients think of their services.
