US Divorce Records: Eligibility & Access Requirements

Divorce records are typically classified as "restricted" to protect the privacy of the parties involved. To receive a certified copy with an official raised seal, you must be an authorized requester under current state statutes.

  • Primary parties: Either person named on the divorce decree (the fomer couple)
  • Legal representatives: Attorneys or legal entities with a documented court-certified need.
  • Immediate family: In specific states, adult children or parents may apply for a record.
  • International requirements: Individuals requiring a divorce certificate for use in a foreign country (apostille)

Our service advantage: We verify your eligibility and ensure you’re requesting the correct version of your divorce vital record before you commit to the state filing process.

Information Required for Your Divorce Certificate Application

To locate a divorce record within state or county archives, you must provide specific details regarding the dissolution of the marriage:

  • Full legal names: The names of both spouses as they appeared on the final divorce filing
  • Date of dissolution: The exact month, day, and year the divorce was finalized by the judge
  • Place of filing: In specific states, adult children or parents may apply for a record.
  • Type of request: Whether you need a new certificate, a certified copy, a replacement, or a copy of divorce papers
  • Proof of identity: A valid, unexpired government-issued ID (Driver’s License or Passport) must be uploaded during registration

Our Standard Service includes a manual audit of these details to catch the minor typos that frequently lead to government rejections.

    Once our experts have perfected your documentation, we provide you with a comprehensive, ready-to-send application package in PDF format.

From this point, you remain in control of the final submission, while we provide the documents, instructions, and support you need to complete the process:

  • User-led submission: You’ll receive the completed forms along with clear, step-by-step instructions for submitting them to the appropriate state or county office.
  • Final certificate issuance: After you send the prepared package to the relevant office, the official certified divorce certificate is issued by the appropriate state, county, or court authority and mailed directly to your specified address.
  • Ongoing support: If you need help with your prepared PDF form, or you have questions about the state-specific instructions, our team is here to assist you.

By using our guided preparation service, you avoid the most common reasons for government rejection, such as using outdated forms or missing required state-specific data.

International Use: Divorce Certificate Apostille

If you’re presenting your divorce record in a foreign country, for instance, to get married abroad or for an international legal matter, the document may require an apostille.

  • Authentication support: We ensure your application is handled under the "International Use" or "Marriage International" reason in our system.
  • Specialized guidance: If you are unsure of the authentication process, we provide specific templates and instructions to help you navigate Department of State requirements.

By correctly flagging your request for international use, we help you get an official divorce vital record that meets the standards for the 1961 Hague Convention.
