Public Hillsborough County Divorce Records

The Hillsborough County Divorce Records can be requested from the Vital Statistics Unit in Florida’s Department of Health. And there are three simple ways in which one can be able to get copies of such.  One can opt to submit his or her demand online, via postal services or through personal request.

It is essential that one gets to communicate with the proper agency to ensure that one’s request will be addressed properly and that delays can be prevented.  Divorce accounts which are dated way back June 6, 1927 up to the present time are obtainable from the above-mentioned office.  But those marital break-ups which happened before the said date can only be recovered from the clerk of court of the specific county where the divorce was made official.  Also, if the divorce was just recently granted, then the clerk of court is the best place to approach to get what you need.  One must take note that after dissolution of marriage has been granted, it will take 60 days for the document to be available from the Department of Health.

A single certification of a divorce decree will cost you $5.00.  For every additional certification being made, the amount of $4.00 will be charged.  The said fees are applicable if you are making the request at the same time.  If in case the document you want cannot be recovered, or if no such record is available in the bureau’s registry, then you cannot expect to have a refund for the payment you made.  Instead, you can anticipate that you will be given a statement which states that no record was found.

Busy people find it more convenient to order via mail than submit a request in person.  If you want to make demand via mail, all you need to do is make a written request. You have to ascertain that you have affixed your signature or your request will be invalid.  It is also important that you supply certain details about the report that you want such as the full names of the husband and wife, the date the marriage was dissolved, and the exact place where the divorce was approved.  If you are not certain about the exact date, you can at least provide the year of the marital break-up.  It is also equally important that you give details about yourself like your complete name, your contact number and your residential address.  Your payment must be in the form of check or money order and must be included in the submission of your request along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.  You will only have to wait for about 2 to 5 working days after the receipt of your demand to get the report you need.

One can also do research regarding cases filed in court and other information pertaining to Hillsborough County court records from the different web locations available for everyone any hour of the day.  Yet, recovering copies of such files can only be done by getting in touch with the Clerk of Court’s Office. You must be aware that you will not see an image of the document you want online but you can only make confirmation on the basic data that are made publicly available.
