Florida Updated Divorce Records Online

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.

The general public have the right to request divorce records for the reason that they are deemed as public records. A person can request his or her own record and can view everything that is included in it. On the other hand, if a person requests for another person's records, only a portion of the record will be revealed because the owner of the record has the right to keep his records private.

In any court, only a divorce document is acknowledged as a supporting document to show the validity of a divorce. If by chance a divorced individual intends to go through marriage again, he or she must secure a copy of his or her own divorce documents and present to a judge who will be handling the application of a marriage license. Another instance where a divorce document can be of use is when you want to find out the terms and conditions of a divorce case.

If you want to place a request for divorce records, you can visit the official site of the Office of Vital Statistics and look for the official request form. Supply the appropriate information on the required fields. A valid ID that is issued by the government must be presented as proof of your identity. Then you have to specify how you are related to the owner of the records and why you wish to obtain the records. A fee of $5 is charged for every copy of the records and $4 for extra copies. All payments made are non-refundable even the records are not located.

When searching for documents, it is essential that you provide the name of either the husband or the wife. It is also essential to include the exact year that the divorce was finalized because it speeds up the searching process. However, if you do not have any idea what year it was finalized, you can specify a range of years to search for $2 for every year that is searched. Providing your own contact details is also required so that the office will know to which address to send the documents.

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.
