Process

A step-by-step route for limestone county alabama divorce records

  1. 01
    Start with document type

    Use the Clerk for decree/case material and ADPH for the state certificate. The state’s nonrefundable $15 search includes one certified copy if found or a Certificate of Failure to Find. Additional copies of the same record ordered together cost $6 each; expedited service adds $15.

    For a mailed state request, use ADPH’s mail-in application and send it with a check or money order payable to Center for Health Statistics to P.O. Box 5625, Montgomery, AL 36103-5625; do not send cash. In Alabama, any county health department can issue an available certified divorce certificate, often while you wait. For online or telephone ordering, follow the ADPH-linked VitalChek route; vendor service and upgraded UPS shipping carry additional charges.

  2. 02
    Supply the identifiers

    ADPH asks for both spouses’ names, divorce date and county where granted.

  3. 03
    Use the court for the court record

    The Limestone Circuit Clerk maintains Domestic and other court divisions.
