These days you can’t always take people at their word when they tell you that they are single. Sometimes people claim to be divorced when they really aren’t. If you are interested in getting married, it is important to do a divorce records search to make sure that your intended really did get a divorce. There are a number of different ways to do this.

Your intended might actually have a copy of their divorce papers. This can really simplify things, as long as it is an original. Otherwise you might want to contact the District Clerk’s office where they got the divorce to verify it. You can also do a divorce records search by contacting the clerk if you know where the person got the divorce. Any copies of certificates and records will require you to pay a fee.

The state will usually also have divorce records on file, and you can usually request this type of information for a fee. This is one of the other ways of doing a divorce records search. However, this will take some time. You usually have to wait for them to mail you the information you are looking for, and this can take weeks. You can sometimes do a search online through a state website and get very basic information.

If you want to do a divorce records source quickly and get basically immediate results, you can go through an online records search company. There are a wide variety of these available. They do charge a fee to do the search, but you find out what you want to know very quickly, so you don’t have to deal with waiting and wondering what the results will be. With these sites you can usually even do multi-state searches, and you can sometimes find out a lot more information that you can get when you do a free search.
