The separation of a couple means that a divorce certificate is generated. Most states make this type of document open to the public as mandated by the Freedom of Information Act. Divorce records Illinois generates are available for public access which allows its residents to obtain it anytime it is needed.

There are several reasons why the people of Illinois request for a copy of a divorce certificate. One of the primary reasons is to use it in government transactions. There are some processes in the government that would require a copy of the said document. Dealing with insurance and any financial matters would call for such document. It is also used by individuals who are dating to make sure that the person they are dating is really single or legally separated. Ironically, a divorced individual cannot remarry without a legal proof of separation.

A divorce certificate focuses about the details of the separation of a married couple. One would be able to determine where and when the divorce was granted for the couple. The personal details about the couple are indicated on the public divorce record. Details about their marriage are also included on the record as additional information.

Not all details about the divorce are available for public view and access. There is information that is kept away from the public to respect the privacy of the involved individuals. Information such as the custody of the children, the reason for the separation and the division of properties and assets are kept confidential. Such information is only available for access if the one who requested it is the divorcee.

In order to obtain a copy of a divorce certificate in the state of Illinois, one has to request it from the office of the county clerk where the divorce was granted. One would not be able to obtain it from the Department of Health since the said office does not release copies of the divorce certificate. One has to be ready to pay for the service fees in order to have the request granted by the county. Fees are not the same for all counties since it would depend on the type and depth of the search. The search requires one to provide the basic information about the record that is being requested along with the personal information of the one who requested it. Without this information, the search may not be processed and can be delayed if not denied.

In the state of Illinois, marriage and divorce records are among the most popular public documents of the state. Online retrieval of such document has made it even more accessible than before. It has also made the search process shorter and fast since one just needs to do a few clicks and the results are then displayed in just seconds. There are websites that offer to do the search for free while others would require service fee to proceed with the search. Most residents of Illinois go for a paid search to ensure the quality of results.
