In the Sunshine State, residents have the freedom to access public records anytime they need to. This is because Florida is one of the states in the US that follows the Freedom of Information Act. This mandate is important because it helps people ensure their safety by finding or gathering information about an individual they do not yet know that much about. In a world as unpredictable and dangerous as ours, this is an issue that should not be taken for granted. Nowadays, you'll never know who's telling the truth; you'll never know who your real friends are. So a background check, which is really easy to do, is essential. The first step is to find the right office or agency where you'll submit the divorce records Florida request.

In the Sunshine State, the main repository of public records is the Bureau of Vital Statistics, which operates under the Department of Health. The said office keeps divorce records that date back to June 6, 1927, as well as current dossiers, of course.

Everytime you make a request, you will have to pay a fee of $5. In case you do not know when the divorce was granted, you can still submit a request; but there'll not only be a $5 fee for the first year searched, there will also be a $2 for every additional year that's searched. You can search for more or less two and a half years worth of records, or an equivalent of $50 in total searches. You're also allowed to request for additional copies, provided that you submit the request on the same day. The fee is $4 for every request. Payments are only accepted if they're in the form of personal checks or money order. Since fees often change, you should check out the Bureau of Vital Statistic's website from time-to-time.

If the record you need is not found in the state office, you will not be given back the money you paid. Instead, you will be provided a certified statement indicating that the record is not available for some reason. It is also important to have a self-addressed stamped envelope ready so that your request will be acted upon.

If you want the easier, simpler way of obtaining divorce records (or any public record), you need not look far. Simply go online and find a reputable independent record provider. There are several of them online, and most operate their own database of public records that you can access anytime and anywhere. Thus, you are assured of getting the dossier you need after only a few minutes; no need to sit around and wait for days wondering when you'll have it in your hands.

But this is not the only amazing thing about online record providers. Although they do not promise to offer divorce records free services, they're also way practical than going to government and state offices to obtain the dossier you need. You see, they do not charge a fee for every record you search for; you only have to pay a minimal one-time fee. And this very practical amount gives you more than you bargained for: unlimited access to their database of records. So after using it for the first time and paying the fee, your succeeding uses of the database is for free already. You can search for any public record you need without worrying about how much you'll be spending for fees! Quite a good catch, don't you think so?
