NEW YORK - May 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Obtaining a copy of a divorce record can provide helpful information when conducting a background check on an individual. A person may wish to order a copy of his or her own record as proof that his or her marriage has legally ended. Each state has different rules about where the records are held and restrictions on who may access them.

A person who wants to conduct a background check on a potential romantic partner may wish to order a divorce record to confirm that the person is not legally married. He or she will want to confirm that there are no impediments to the relationship before it becomes more serious.

Someone who has recently been divorced can benefit from having this information at hand as well. The official record will be required before a new marriage license can be issued. Since it can take some time to receive confirmation that a divorce has been granted, ordering a divorce record immediately means no delays when a second marriage is being contemplated.

In some states, divorce records can be ordered from the Department of Public Health's Vital Records Office. This office may only keep records from a specific range of years. Anyone who wishes to order divorce records should check with the Office in their state to confirm whether the Department keeps any documents on file.

The Superior Court Clerk's Office in the County where the divorce was filed should have copies of the records. Access to the documents may be restricted to the spouses named on the certificate or the following individuals:

•   Parents
•   Grandparents
•   Child
•   Grandchild
•   Brother or Sister
•   Licensed Attorney acting for one of the Spouses Named on the Certificate

In jurisdictions where the divorce record is available to the public, it may only be available as an informational copy. The document will be stamped with a legend stating that it is "NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY."

Court Offices may offer counter service to the public during normal business hours. The requestor would have to go the office during certain times to request a copy of the record. They can also be ordered by mail. The processing time would vary, depending on the number of orders the Court Office has to process. In some instances, it could be several weeks or even months before the order is received.

Each search for divorce records is subject to a non-refundable search fee. If the record cannot be located at the first Court Office, the requestor will have to contact another one to try to find the information he or she needs.

Ordering copies of divorce records online is the most efficient way to obtain this information. The person requesting the record can place an order at any time of the day or night. There is no need to travel to a Court Office to make the request or wait for an order to arrive by return mail. The requested information is forwarded to the customer's e-mail account, quickly and efficiently.
