Divorce records in California are only one of the many documents that have been opened for public access in the state. This makes it easier for the residents of the state to request for a copy of such document should they have a need for it.

When marriage is no longer working and the couple thinks it is no longer a healthy relationship, they end up filing for divorce. It is very important to document such proceedings to make the separation legal. By making an official document of the couple's divorce, the document can then be used in legal matters such as doing transactions with the government. There are certain transactions that would call for a copy of a divorce certificate; these transactions usually involve the finances of the couple such as insurance and the assets of the couple. Without the certificate, it may be difficult to proceed with any requests. Another use of a divorce certificate is to get married again. Divorcees who wish to remarry have to provide a copy of the official divorce certificate before they can be allowed to remarry.

Just like any other divorce records in the country, California divorce certificate would contain the details about the couple's separation. One would know when and where the separation was legalized. The document is not complete without the complete names of the couple and some personal details as well as information on their marriage. However, a public document only has the basic information. Details such as the reason for the separation are kept private along with the division of properties and assets of the couple and the child custody.

It is very important that the basic details of the record that is being obtained is known to make the search easier. A request form has to be filled out with the necessary information such as the date and place where the divorce was granted. The personal details of the requesting individual have to be included on the search as well. One should know that only the divorcees and their immediate family are allowed to request for a copy of the separation documents.

Unlike many states, the state of California does not release a copy of a divorce certificate through the office of the Vital Records Section, only the county Clerk of Supreme Court can. The state office however, can verify some information for you and can tell you where the document can be requested. Sadly, the verification process cost $13 only. The retrieval fees may vary on where the request was made. The state office accepts mailed in request but the results of the search can be sent back only after a few days since it was requested.

To avoid any delay, using the Internet to request such document is also possible. This is faster and convenient since it can be done even at home. One can even conduct a divorce records free of any service charges.
