Decree or certificate

The decree, the court's judgment with the terms of the divorce, comes from the clerk of the court that granted it. Divorce certificate vs decree explains which one an agency usually wants.

Asking the court clerk

The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics lists what a request for a divorce record should include:5

  • Full names of husband and wife
  • Date of divorce or annulment
  • Place of divorce or annulment
  • Type of final decree
  • Purpose for which copy is needed
  • Relationship to persons whose record is requested
  • Day time telephone number with area code

Clerks charge their own copy and certification fees, and some offer an exemplified copy, a more formal certification used for out-of-state and foreign purposes.

Years held and older records

Older records
Oklahoma Historical Society holds an index to Oklahoma County divorce records 1923-1944 (copies only for records before Aug. 15, 1925); later records from the Oklahoma County court clerk.6

Special situations

Use abroad
For an apostille, the certified divorce decree must be dated within the past year.2
