Arizona Divorce Records

To begin, add a divorce record or view a list of locations and resources for Arizona divorce records.

Tracking down divorce records from Arizona is possible, but not always simple. In many states, marriage and divorce records are kept at the Office of Vital records; that's not so in Arizona.

In Arizona, the Clerk of the Superior Court in each county maintains their own archive of records. However, on the upside, divorce records are considered public for the most part, which means that it's easy to get the information you need. Furthermore, county records extend back well into the 1800s, which is a real help to all kinds of research.

Requests for records can either be mailed in or filed in person in the proper county, or you can search for what you need online in a standard public records search.

You may obtain Arizona divorce certificates by applying to the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted. Personal information such as marriage and divorce is considered private, so proof of relationship, proof of who you are, and a fee will apply.
