If you're searching for Montana divorce records you're certainly not alone. Yet finding divorce records from the state of Montana is often easier said than done, or at least would appear that way.

For those who need to find Montana divorce records, the state agency in question is the Montana Office of Vital Statistics. This institution has a searchable index of divorce records that dates back to 1943.

However, while some items in this index are verified, the Office of Vital Statistics doesn't keep certified copies of divorce records. For those, it's necessary to contact the county where the divorce was granted. However, many researchers have found an alternative to mailing in requests to state and county offices. Instead, more and more people who need Montana divorce records are using internet public record finders, to help them get exactly what they need without having to dedicate as much time or effort to the search.

Divorce information and records have been kept at the state level in Montana since 1943. You may not receive a certified copy from the state, but may apply to the county where the divorce was granted for a Montana divorce certificate. You would need to contact the Clerk of District Court in the proper county, and may be asked to provide photo ID, and a small fee.
