Online Commercial Illinois Free Public Divorce Records Search Sites

By Ben Kingsley


Public records such as birth, death, criminal, marriage and divorce records are considered as public records and as such open to the public. There are however, some instances when the state would make the information accessible to only the people involved due to the nature of the files. In Illinois divorce records are generally made accessible to the parties included in the divorce or to the nearest family member.

Unlike other departments that can offer information pertaining to the request needed, The Illinois Department of Public Health Vital Records Division does not issue certified copies of the dissolution. What the division does is to verify the information requested by the person applying for the information. To verify the facts, one has to pay a $5 fee for the service. Verification is done in person, mailing the application form or faxing the form to the Vital Records office.

For people who prefer mailing in their requests, download the Dissolution Form from the Public Health's website. The form is in PDF format so one might need to have a PDF viewer to view the file in the correct format. Fill in the details completely. Ensure that all fields are completed, as the Division will not process incomplete application forms. Together with the forms, include a money order or check amounting to $5 and payable to "Illinois Department of Public Health." Processing of the request takes about four to six weeks not including the delivery of the forms to the office.

For fax verification, the person making the request can fax the application form or provide the details mentioned in the cover sheet of the request form. The person should also include their credit card number and expiration date for payment of fees. Fees to pay include the $5 verification fee, $19.50 for UPS and $10 for credit card handling charge. One should also include their contact details, signature and a copy of a non-expired government-issued ID. Please note that the department will not process incomplete application forms. Processing takes about a week's time. Delivery requires signature of an adult and PO Box addresses are not allowed.

For in-person requests, forms may be dropped at the Illinois Public Health Vital Records Division. The office is open weekdays from 10am to 3pm and processing can take up to three days. To claim the records, please show a valid ID with photo.

Certified divorce records are available from the county court clerk where the dissolution of marriage was obtained. To find information on how to request for your records, phone the county where the dissolution was granted. The Public Information Office of the county processes varieties of information for the public and as such, processing time might take a few days to a week's time.

Another way to obtain records of divorce is through online means. One can check out online divorce companies that offer the service free although you have to pay certain fees if you want to access the complete information. By far, online application is the fastest and most convenient way of gathering government records. If you only require the files for information purposes only, going through the online process is much easier and saves you time. If you are looking for certified true copies, visiting the County Clerk Office for the copies is advised.
