Divorce Records And Kentucky Law
The law holds that a fee must be paid before search services can be provided by the Office of Vital Statistics. The fee is also legally non-refundable as it covers the search services whether or not Kentucky divorce records are found. Requestors must also be issued certified copies of vital records in Kentucky as non-certified certificate copies and photocopies are not permitted.
Requestors of Kentucky divorce records must include the full names of both parties in the dissolution of marriage document as well as the day, month and year of the divorce, if known. If the exact date of the Kentucky divorce isn’t known, the closest possible range of dates should be given. The county where the divorce occurred should also be included in a request for a certified copy of the record, if known. The request must be signed and include the requestor’s name, address and daytime telephone number.
