New York Divorce Records Free Database Online

By Ben Kingsley


A record of divorce in New York, whether it is a decree or a certificate, is a legal document. Such register can be advantageous in many ways. One of which is when you are perusing the background of a certain individual you wish to establish rapport with, or when you are doing a self background check in case you want to get married again. Either way, divorce records will bring light to significant information that you may need to know and will indicate any contents that need to be reviewed for accuracy and completeness.

There are two types of divorce records in New York: decrees and certificates. A divorce decree indicates the conditions and terms of the separation and is filed in the county where the divorce was approved. Prior to 1963, records of divorce that were available then were decrees. Divorce certificates, on the other hand, are confidential by law and are restricted to the persons named on the document and those authorized by them only.

Records of divorce recorded from January 1963 to present can be retrieved from the Vital Records Division in the Department of Health. Divorces that transpired prior to such year, however, can only be accessed at the Clerk or Registrar for Divorce in the county where the dissolution of marriage was filed and ratified.

When appealing for a copy of a divorce record in New York, a processing fee of $15 is required. Such fee is not refundable whatever the result of the search may be. In case no divorce record is found, the fee will not be returned back to you as it applies for the search itself. In this case, a "Certificate of Failure to Find" will be issued.

It is easy to rack up the needed information when you know which office you should pay a visit to. Thus, knowing when the divorce happened is really useful. When appealing for a copy of a divorce record, you will be asked to fill out an application or request form. Fill it out in its entirety with all the necessary details. Significant details required are the complete names of the husband and the wife, the date and county where they tied the knot, and the date and relevant county where the divorce was filed and ratified. As the one requesting the record, you must also input in the request form your name, address, phone number, your relationship to the couple, and the reason of your request.

No matter what your reason may be for requesting such record, still the most practical and easy way of getting it is through the Internet. Placing the order online will hasten things up. Requests made online are processed very quickly and are delivered to you without delay. Plus, you own your time. You can search for divorce records free of charge any time of the day or night and expect for the results to be sent to you in no time.
