Guide
The Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics holds marriage and divorce records for 1978 to 2010 and issues certificates from them to the person of record, an immediate family member, a legal guardian or a designated legal representative; for divorces before 1978 or after 2010 it sends requesters to the district court where the divorce was finalized. A divorce certificate confirms the divorce; the decree, with the division of property and debt and the alimony terms, is a public court record under Rule 4-202.02(4)(B)(i) obtained from the district court clerk. The ordering page is at vitalrecords.utah.gov.
