NC Office of Vital Records" height="" />
NC Vital Records has copies of divorce certificates from 1958-present. Divorce certificates may also be obtained from the Clerk of Court in the county where the divorce is filed.
Ordering options are listed on our Order a Certificate page, which includes links to forms and fees, depending on the ordering option you want to use.
Before placing your certificate order, we recommend you check the processing dates page for estimated processing and shipping dates to determine if estimated timeframes would meet your needs. If not, you may want to consider ordering the divorce certificate from the Clerk of Court in the county where the divorce is filed.
For divorce certificate changes, contact the county Clerk of Court where the divorce was filed. NC Vital Records can assist with changes to a birth or death certificate. Our office does not handle changes to divorce certificates.
NC Vital Records does not process divorce filings. Required divorce documents must be filed with the Clerk of Court in the county where either you or your spouse lives.
