Option You Can Try In Obtaining North Carolina Divorce Records

By Justine Leggs


Most single individuals can relate to a certain experience where you meet someone who is just too good to stay single. These are the type of people whom you would call a "good catch", but you wonder why they are single. Is he divorced? Perhaps he is a widower? If it's the former, then you start to wonder why the marriage fell apart. Not knowing the answers to such questions can be a bit irritating. However, if you have access to the North Carolina divorce records, it might shed some light on your curiosity. If the person you are interested in was divorced in North Carolina, then there should be some record of it.

If you consider the North Carolina divorce laws, there are some parts of it that can be difficult to fully grasp. Searching the court system, on the other hand, for information about particular divorce cases is not actually as hard. Although the details about a separation of a couple are a very private matter, once a divorce case reaches the courts, it will now become a matter of public record. Your privacy right will no longer apply.

In states like North Carolina, getting access to free divorce records and other vital public records are quite easy. The first step one must take in getting such records is finding the local county where the divorce took place. Once the county is determined, you then have to locate the county clerk of court's office in order to file for a formal request to obtain a copy of the records you want.

If your county search did not yield any answers, for some reason, you can try to acquire North Carolina divorce records through the state's Vital Records Office. You can visit their offices and file a request there, or you can access their official website and download an application form. After you have completed the application or request form, you can send it to their office together with the required processing fees, or you can take the forms to their office yourself.

Getting access to any form of public record through government agencies is not that problematic, as long as you adhere to the state's rules and regulations. But if you need the information quick, it can be quite frustrating because the processing of your request can take days to complete, sometimes even weeks. When dealing with government offices and agencies, you need to accept the fact that you are not in control when it comes to how soon you get your request.

Luckily there is another option you can try in obtaining free divorce records without having to wait a long time for the information you need. There are websites nowadays that serve as information or record providers. These websites are more than capable of helping you with background checks or even just a simple research. The best thing about these websites is that they are not limited to a single state, their databases contain public records from all over the U.S, quite impressive don't you think?
