Alaska Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Alaska, popularly known as the last frontier, is the largest state in the US in terms of land area. It is equivalent to more than six hundred thousand square miles, almost three times the size of the state of Texas. But even though Alaska is quite huge, its population barely reaches a million. Nevertheless, the number of Alaska marriage records can still be overwhelming, especially since the state began recording vital events, including marriages, as early as 1913, a year after it was officially incorporated as an organized territory.

Alaska is home to a diverse group of land and sea animals. The sceneries alone are quite breathtaking, which is perfect for marriage ceremonies. But like any other state in the country, births, deaths, marriages and divorces do happen regularly, especially in the largest city in the state, Anchorage. The Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics is responsible for the proper treatment of all vital records, which includes birth, death and fetal death, marriage and divorce data, as well as any reports of adoption.

Under state laws, all vital records are labeled confidential. With that said, direct family members are the only ones who are permitted to acquire certified copies of such files. And in the matter of marriage records, free public marriage records in Alaska are only open to the public 50 years after the said record has been filed, including death and divorce certificates. As for birth records, they have to be at least a hundred years old before anyone outside the family can access them.

When it comes to gaining access to Alaska marriage records, there are quite a few options you can try. For certified copies, an individual can visit the website of the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics. Here, one can find the proper procedures in acquiring these types of records, as well as the requirements necessary for processing. There is also a downloadable PDF file that will serve as a request form, which you can fill up. The requirements have to be met and the procedures carefully followed before your request will be processed.

If you visit the website, you will see that it's no different from any other government website. If you look at the list of instructions and requirements, you will get a sense that government bureaucracy is at play. But you can't really blame them. After all, it is the government's responsibility to keep our personal data from being used unscrupulously. Luckily, there is another option in obtaining marriage records data more efficiently.

In the following years since the Internet became available, a number of marriage data search websites and commercial record providers started to gain prominence among Internet users. This type of online information service has essentially made accessing free public marriage records a lot more efficient. The database that most of these providers have is quite impressive as far as comprehensiveness and accuracy is concerned. A one-time fee is all you need. And you can start looking for marriage records once you adjust the parameters of your search. It's risk-free, problem-free, easy to navigate and practical. Best value for your dollar.
