Chilton County Marriage & Divorce Records

Under state law of Alabama, both marriage and divorce records are considered to be public knowledge. Because of this, any resident of Alabama may access these records at any time, and for any reason. This means that you may learn about the nuptial status of persons in Alabama, whether they have ever been divorced, and how many times they have been married.

In Alabama, these records, which fall under the umbrella of Vital Records, are stored and maintained by the Alabama Department of Public Health. Their main website, located at http://adph.org, details their full services.

If you wish to request a copy of a marriage license, a marriage certificate, or inquire as to the marital status of anyone living in Alabama, then simply visit the corresponding ADPH website at http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1562 and fill out the proper paperwork.

Alternatively, if you are looking to obtain a copy of a divorce record for anyone living in Alabama, then visit the corresponding ADPH web page at http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1561 and fill out the paperwork as indicated.
