New Jersey Divorce Records

Those who wish to get their divorce certificates in the State of New Jersey should note that these records are not available from the Vital Records Office but can be requested from the Superior Court Office where the divorce was granted. Records normally cost $10; however, it may differ from one Court to another.

To get the records, one has to know which Court granted the divorce. It would be easy for those who know the Court; however, those who do not would find it difficult. The courts would also require the requester to present a valid ID with photo, as the Court would only grant access to the files for eligible requesters. Those eligible to access the records include the persons named in the divorce file or those that are directly related to the registrants.

In the case that one is not eligible to access the records but needs the files for informational purposes, they can engage the services of third party search providers that offer public record search in the internet.
