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 mail requests, download the application for verification of dissolution of marriage record form. The file is in PDF format so one has to make sure that they have a PDF viewer to view the form. All the fields should be completed, as the Division will not process incomplete forms. Once the form is completed, mail the form together with a cheque or a money order amounting to $5. Make sure that the check is made payable to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Processing would take about a month's time.

For fax requests, follow the steps mentioned above for the application form. You can also write your request in the cover sheet. Complete details are required including the details of the party in the record as well as the contact information of the person requesting. Attach a credit card number and expiration date and include one's signature as well as a copy of any government issued identification card together with the request. Payment for the request includes the $5 record fee, credit card handling fee of $10 and UPS charge of $19.50. The processing time for the request takes about a week. Please take note that UPS will not deliver to a PO Box address and would require an adult person to receive the package.

For in person requests, they can drop the form at the Vital Records office during business hours. The processing time takes about 3-4 days. For pick up, the person who requested the information should show a valid ID.

To obtain certified true copies of the dissolution of marriage, the person requesting the information can visit the County Clerk where the divorce was granted. Take note that processing of the request might differ from one county to another so it is important to call the County's Public Information Office for guidelines on how to get the certified copies. As the office also accepts requests for other information, processing time can take a week's time.

To retrieve the information faster, one can check out records of divorce made available online by some private companies. The full information can be accessed after one pays a minimal fee (depending on the company). For people looking for information, then the online request is the fastest way to do so.
