Divorce is the choice of many if their marriage is not longer working and because of this, the number of divorce in Oklahoma is increasing. The Freedom of Information Act has mandated the local government of Oklahoma to allow its residents to access OK divorce records making it one of the most requested file in the state.

Government transactions would require individuals to provide their divorce certificates in order to process some transactions. Transactions involving the couple would generally require a copy of such document. This includes insurance related matters, updating the list of beneficiaries, property and asset declaration and other matters that may require the couple's knowledge. The document is used to verify the marital status of an individual. Genealogy is also of the purpose for requesting a copy of a divorce certificate. It has information that is needed in order to update the family tree. It may not play a vital role in updating the family history but the future generations would have difficulties tracing their ancestors if this is not updated regularly. Marriage is another important event that would require validation and this is where divorce certificates are called for. Without the official divorce certificate, the application to marry again may be denied.

Just as the name itself, divorce record would have information about the separation of a married couple. The public document would show only the basic details of the separation which includes the complete names of the divorcees and their birth details. The focus of the document is on the separation of the couple such as the date and the place where it took place. One would also know the marriage details.

Unfortunately, not all of the information about the separation is indicated on a public document. Information such as the reason why the couple decided to separate is only visible to the divorcees. The custody of the children and the sharing of the properties and assets are also kept confidential. All of this information is kept away from the public to protect the individual's privacy.

The divorce certificates in Oklahoma are not available at the Vital Records Section. It can only be obtained at the county clerk office where the divorce was registered. Fees have to be paid but it would depend on the county where it was filed. The fee is not more than $20. The one who requested the document has to fill out an application form and indicate the basic details of the record being requested. The personal information of the one who requested the document should also be indicated on the document. The document is only given if the one who filed the request is the divorcee or their immediate family. The request can be done in just an hour but this is true only if the search goes smooth, if not it can take days.
