There are several ways either spouse included in a divorce may obtain a copy of their divorce record in New York. The first is online. This is done by visiting the New York Department of Health website and choosing the ?Vital Records? option on the page. Requirements to obtain a copy of a divorce record online include:
– $30 fee payable by credit card only
– $15 fee for priority handling
– $8 vendor processing fee (charged for each copy ordered)
– A copy of one form of photo identification
– A copy of one form of proof of address
Photo identification may include:
– Driver?s license
– State-issued identification card
– Military photo identification
– Passport
Proof of address may include:
– Utility bill
– Telephone bill
– Letter from government agency
All orders are processed and mailed in 5 to 10 business days. These orders are mailed to the address provided on the application submitted online, which is why it?s imperative to double check all information prior to submission.
Alternative Ordering Options
Phone orders are an option for anyone who is looking to obtain copies of divorce records in New York. They?re made by calling 1-877-854-4481 and following the prompts. The same fees that apply to orders made online apply, as do the identification requirements in place for online orders.
In-person orders can be processed at any New York Department of Health location. The only fee that does not apply to this particular order is the $15 priority processing fee. If you prefer to order a divorce record through the mail, you?ll download the form on the NY Department of Health website, mail it to the listed address with the correct payment, and wait for the record to arrive in your mailbox.
New York divorce records are available to view online if you choose to do so. To check on a divorce record, you?ll want to visit the website of the county office where the divorce was finalized. You?ll look for the ?Public Records? option and enter the name of either party in the divorce. The record will appear on your screen in the original form in which it was filed. It cannot be used for any official submissions, such as an application for a mortgage. An official copy is necessary for something like this.

Unfortunately we do not show any of the New York divorce records you are requesting. Unfortunately our resources only go back around 40 years so this is older than our NY divorce record resources. You can check with the NY Department of Health as they archive NY divorce records for a much longer period of time. Their phone number is 844-628-4692. Please call the NY Department of Health and make your NY divorce inquiry with them
