    Searching Divorce Records To Stay On The Safe Side

    By Steven Sea

    Divorce records are authorized by the Freedom of Information Act. Anyone can access public divorce records these days. These records can be of two types - certified and uncertified. The uncertified copies of the records can be obtained from the online commercial public record services. On the other hand, for getting the certified copies, you got to turn to the concerned government departments or offices. The online record services for instance maintain colossal databases which are inter-linked or crossed into huge database networks. This makes it easier for you to get the information you need from a vast repository of data source.

    For instance in California, if you need divorce records, you need to contact the California Department of Public Health. People usually retrieve this type of public records from Office of Vital Records. And there are many other state departments that deal in very important public records like birth, death, and marriage. It's like an obligation that you'll need to know the twists and turns of divorce records' filing. The way things are, you must first know where the divorce was originally filed. It's because the Supreme Court a county or the recorder's office in the county has the authority to provide people with certified copies of divorce records. In most of the cases, the divorce records come with lots of decrees or certificates.

    However, accessing to such documents in is done in 2 different ways usually. You can make use of a fee-based service. You can also use one of those free promotional public record websites which provide you with some info for free. While both the category of info services are available online and also have some major differences, the free one might not satisfy you fully in some cases.

    But results are really impressive if the free online information source is maintained by a government department. Though all states of the US do not have their online databases for preserving divorce records, many already do. So why not take advantage of that? All you do is enter simple piece of info like name, age and residential city of the person who're records you're looking up.

    Just in case your state doesn't have any online information retrieval service for people to access public records, you should consider using a commercial online data services instead. But when it comes to getting certified copies of divorce records you should sometimes be patient as some state departments take longer to process your retrieval request.
