Illinois Divorce Records
Illinois keeps records of divorces dating from 1962 until present day at the Division of Vital Records, Illinois Department of Health under the name, “Dissolution of Marriage” rather than “divorce records.” You can only obtain a verification of the divorce rather than complete or certified copies, and the data is searched by the husband’s name only. If you’re searching for Illinois divorce court records that occurred before 1962, you’ll need to contact the county office in Illinois where the divorce took place. A $5 fee in the form of check or money order will get you verification of the dissolution of marriage, and you can request the search through mail, personally or by fax. You’ll need to fill out an application or mail a letter to:
Illinois Department of Public Health
Division of Vital Records
925 East Ridgely Ave.
Springfield, IL 62702-2737
You can pay by credit card by including your credit card number, expiration date, a phone number, return address, written signature and a copy of photo identification. If you use a credit card, you’ll need to pay a $5 fee, $10 handling charge and $19.50 for the UPS charge. Requests ordered through the mail may take four to six weeks to process.
Ordering in person can be accomplished by visiting the Illinois Public Health Division of Vital Records at the above address on Monday to Friday between 10 am and 3 pm.
