Lauderdale County, Alabama – Marriage and Divorce Records

Lauderdale County, Alabama has two of the best official websites of almost any county in the state of Alabama; despite not providing a list of arrest warrants and prison records for Lauderdale County, the Sheriff’s Office website, located at http://www.lauderdale-sheriff.org/index.php, is clean, well-designed, and highly functional. Similarly, the Lauderdale County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office’s website, located at http://www.lauderdalecountycircuitclerk.com/index.html, provides dozens of forms for requesting the information that you require.

But you won’t find marriage records and divorce records for Lauderdale County, Alabama on either of those pages.

That is because the Alabama Department of Public Health handles all Vital Records, of which both marital certificates and divorce certificates are a part of. Vital Records also include birth certificates and death records. One of the rather nice things that you will discover if you are hunting down marital records or divorce certificates for anyone in Lauderdale County, Alabama, or anywhere in Alabama, is that there are no requirements or limitations placed on requesting these types of records.

To request a copy of a marital license, marriage record, or other similar type of Vital Record, visit the following link and fill out the enclosed form: http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1562. For divorce records, do the same thing, except with this link: http://adph.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=1561.
