Anyone looking to obtain copies of Maine Divorce Records must check with the Maine Division of Vital Records to issue copies of such a record. This office issues non-certified copies of records to anyone who needs them, and they do issue some certified copies to those who are involved directly in a divorce proceeding. The Clerk of Court?s office in the county where a divorce occurred is the only other location in Maine where divorce records are handled. The general public can visit either the county record?s office or the Vital Records office in person to obtain Maine divorce records, or they can go another route.
Information You Need
You cannot just walk into any office in Maine to obtain divorce records without the proper identification and information. Everyone needs the following information:
– Photo identification
– The names of the people listed on the divorce record
– The date of the divorce
– The county of the divorce
– Payment
Records are available from 1892 to the present day, and anyone can obtain a non-certified copy. The fee for a divorce record in Maine is only $15 for the first copy. Each additional copy you need of a divorce record costs $6.
Ordering copies online is the most efficient and quickest way to obtain copies of divorce records if you are not near the county clerk?s office where the divorce took place. The Vital Statistics office has forms available online on their website you can fill out all the information needed to order a copy on your own. It?s simple, and it can be rushed for a fee if you need it sooner.
You can also visit any county clerk?s office or the Vital Statistics office on your own time. There are cut-off hours at each individual office for same-day service, however. This means you might call before you arrive to ensure you?re there early enough to receive a copy, and to ensure you bring the correct payment methods accepted by the office you?re visiting.
