Oregon Divorce Records

Those who wish to obtain divorce records from the State of Oregon should take note that the government places some restrictions to its access. The State restricts access to these records to the parties, family members and authorized representative for the first 50 years starting from the time the divorce was granted. After the 50 years, the record becomes public and anybody can access the said records.

Requesters who wish to access the records and are eligible can go to the Vital Records Office to request for the records(s). The Office maintains records starting from 1958; for older records, one should visit the county court where the divorce was filed.

For those who are considered as third parties or non-family member, the State only allows them to obtain the said records if they have a notarized letter from the named individuals allowing the non-family member to obtain the records. For those who are not eligible but need the records for informational purposes, they can opt to choose third party search sites that provide public search record. This is, by far, the fastest and most convenient way one can get hold of reports without having to visit or make a written request.
