Florida Divorce Records Free Database Online

By Christopher Evans


Obtaining government records is perhaps one of the most difficult and time-consuming activities for anyone. However, with the internet today, it is now easier to access public records and have it delivered to one's doorstep. As all states have adopted this procedure, obtaining a Florida Divorce Record, for example, is stress-free as you can make requests online. Traditional ways of calling and mailing the assigned agency is still applicable; however, to save time, it is only reasonable to make your queries online.

Getting a divorce record is the same as getting public records. People who want information on certain divorce cases can check out the Bureau of Vital Statistics webpage. The office provides information on divorce cases after June 6, 1927. However, it does not have records before this date. People who are looking for divorce granted before the particular date can check the local Court clerk where the divorce was released. If the dates are unclear, requesting the Office for a particular divorce records is also allowed.

Each record file that one requests costs about $5 with the additional certificate at $4. An additional fee of about $2 is added to the total amount if one is unsure of the exact date the divorce took place. Take note that the amount is for each additional year and processing can take awhile. If you really need the certificates, you might want to avail of the Rush services which costs $10.00. Express delivery services cost about the same. For express delivery, though, you have to include the payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope. You have to wait 2-3 business days for the Office to process your request. For copies of the certificate, one has to wait four to five working days.

For one's convenience, the Bureau includes three versions of the Divorce and Annulment application form in the website. The three forms are available in the English, Creole and Spanish languages. You can directly download the form from the site and then fill it up by hand or by computer. As much as possible, all fields should be answered to prevent any delay in the processing of the application.

If you are not sure about the complete name of the wife, you have to make sure that you include the complete name of the husband, as the divorce records are usually indexed under the husband's name only. The details of the person who requested the information should also be included as well as any necessary information like phone number and the mailing address the Bureau might need.

When it comes to divorce proceedings, the State of Florida laws are strict and as such, many are frustrated; however, once the divorce is finalized, procuring the divorce records is easy and fast. One can easily access what they want through the Marriage and Divorce Record section of the website. The fact that the Office has also integrated online services to their list of services makes it easier to get records. For those looking for faster services and value for their time, online service is the most logical and practical option available.
