Divorce Records Florida Free List Online

By Ben Kingsley


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.


Just like marriage records, divorce records are made available through the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Florida. The Bureau's file includes information on divorces starting from June 6, 1927 up until today. If you are searching for files beyond that date, you might want to check with the Circuit Court Clerk where the divorce was placed. If you are not sure of the exact timeframe, you can send your request to the Office of the Vital Statistics.

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.

Many people have complained about how inflexible the Florida law system is, especially when it comes to divorce cases. However, once the annulment or divorce is finally granted, the Florida State is one of the fastest places to get one's divorce record. All the pertinent details of how to obtain one's divorce report is available in the Bureau's Marriage and Divorce Record website. If one is looking for faster and convenient services, online request is the most stressful way of doing it.
