CA divorce records are files that the residents of California can request anytime when they need it. These are one of the documents which have been mandated by the government to make its access available to the public in accordance to the Freedom of Information Act.

This type of document is one of the most requested documents of California. With that being said, it is used in a number of ways. There are several processes in the government that would call for a copy of the said file. Without it requests cannot be granted. This is mostly needed when one needs to process insurance or any financial matters that involve the couple. Ironically, a divorcee cannot remarry without presenting this document since the marriage may not have occurred in the first place. There also some people who would conduct a background check on certain individual. They do this to verify the identity of the one's they are dating. This helps people to make sure that they are dating an unattached or unmarried individual.

A California divorce certificate would contain the only the basic information about the separation. This includes the names of the divorcees. The document would also contain information such as the place and the date where the divorce was filed and registered. The document would also contain the name of the official who approved the separation. Further details about the separation are kept confidential to protect the privacy of the people involved. One cannot find the reason why the couple decided to separate. The document would not publicly show who filed the petition for the divorce. Sensitive information such as the child custody and the property division remain confidential.

Only divorce that took place since 1962-1984 has to be obtained from the county where the separation too place. A $13 fee has to be paid in order to know the county of occurrence. It is also important that one has the basic information of the record that is being requested. One can indicate on the application form the name of the file as well as the date and the place where the separation took place. The document is only released if the one who filed the request is one of the divorcees or their immediate family. Those who request for the files of other people has to secure an authorization letter or a court order before they can be granted access to the file.

The Department of health under the Vital records Section manages the public records of the state. This includes the divorce records of California.
