Alaska Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


The state of Alaska, which is commonly known as the last frontier, is home to around three quarters of a million inhabitants. But don't let this relatively small population fool you; Alaska is the largest state in the US, almost three times larger than the state of Texas. And as far as Alaska marriage records go, there are quite a few of them being processed every year in this state, not to mention the already impressive number of marriage records the state must now have, since it has been documenting vital events for almost a century now.

With its diverse group of sea and land-based animals and the spectacular sceneries, it's no wonder people from all over the country are dreaming of getting married in this state. Similar to every state in the US, Alaska has its own share of births, deaths, marriages and divorce statistics. And as for the documentations, the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics office has the sole responsibility for storing, maintaining, and proper dissemination of all vital records in the state, even adoptions.

Under the laws of the state, vital records are confidential. Only direct family members are allowed to acquire certified copies of such documents. In the subject of marriage records, free public marriage records are only accessible by the public when the said records are at least 50 years old. A hundred if birth records are concerned. Other vital records such as death and divorce certificates take 50 years as well before they can be available to the general population.

When it comes to gaining access to Alaska marriage records, there are quite a few options you can try. For certified copies, an individual can visit the website of the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics. Here, one can find the proper procedures in acquiring these types of records, as well as the requirements necessary for processing. There is also a downloadable PDF file that will serve as a request form, which you can fill up. The requirements have to be met and the procedures carefully followed before your request will be processed.

When you visit the previously mentioned website for the first time, the instructions and requirements alone can make you feel a bit overwhelmed. There are just too many procedures. But this is how government websites are supposed to be. They are responsible for keeping all our confidential records away from prying hands and unsavory individuals. This is why proper precautions are put in place so that the misuse of such documents is avoided, or at least minimized.

Over the years, a number of commercial record providers began offering their services to the public. When it comes to free public marriage records, these professionals can provide accurate and up-to-date information. Their vital records database is well maintained and all-encompassing. In exchange for a one-time fee, you can get access to this database and begin your search. A set of search parameters is provided for you. All you have to do is fill in the search parameters and you are good to go. No hassle, no waiting period; efficiency and practicality, what a great combo.
