If you want to get your hands on FL Divorce Records, you can get them at the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, Department of Health. The office started to maintain records of divorce cases in Florida on the 6th of June 1927 until present day. Records of divorce cases that occurred before the 6th of June 1927 can only be obtained at the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where it was finalized.

The documents are made available to citizens because they are deemed as part of the public domain. Citizens are allowed to acquire their own documents and that of other individuals. However, there is a stricter protocol for acquiring other individual's documents. You are obliged to state your reason for wanting to get your hands on the documents. If you are not able to provide a valid reason, the office of Vital Statistics will not accept your request.

To start a search, secure the correct request form at the Vital Statistics office or download it from their website. Fill it out with the required pieces of information such as the name of the husband and wife, the date of the divorce, and place where divorce was finalized. You should also include your personal contact information such as your name, address and phone number. The requestor should mail the form to the office along with a proof of identity and payment. Also, if you do not know which county the records are kept, you can ask the assistance of the state office and they will forward your request to the appropriate county. It costs $5 for every copy and $4 for additional copies. Fees can be paid by money order or by a check and are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the search.

If you have gone through a divorce and you wish to marry another person, you need to acquire your own divorce file. If you cannot present at the time of the application for a marriage license, you will not be granted a license. Without a license, a marriage is considered null and void even if a ceremony took place. So before you decide to marry someone, make sure that you are aware of his or her marital status to avoid running into trouble. Aside from this, you can also use the file as a source of information for the specifics of a divorce case.

Another way to acquire divorce files is by conducting a search through online search tools. There are search tools that have the permission of the court to maintain divorce files and supply them if anyone places a request for them. Sadly, not all of the search tools that can be found on the Internet are genuine. Prior to choosing which search tool to use for your search, run a history check on them first. Gather as much details as you can get about them until you are sure that they are not fooling you to make a quick buck.

Online search tools are categorized into two kinds: fee-based search tools and free search tools. Whichever you choose, you will be granted with Divorce Decrees Public Record but the extent of your access to information will be different. Fee-based search tools can supply you with an extensive amount of information regarding a divorce case. There is also a chance to get your hands on the confidential information. On the other hand, free search tools can do just enough to provide you with a file that has the basic information of a divorce.
