Verification of a Divorce
Verification letters are not considered legal substitutes for divorce decrees. It is strongly recommended that you make sure a verification letter will satisfy your intended use before ordering.
Certified copies of divorce decrees are only available from the district clerk in the county or district in which it was obtained.
The Texas Vital Statistics provides letters verifying whether or not a divorce was recorded with the State of Texas based on the application for divorce sent to the office by the county clerk or district clerk. If no record of a divorce is found then the verification letter itself can be considered a "single-status letter".
Verification letters of divorce are available for divorces that occurred from 1968 to the present.
Is a divorce-verification letter the same as a divorce decree? No, a divorce-verification letter is not the same as a divorce decree. A divorce-verification letter is a letter that verifies whether or not a divorce has been recorded with the State of Texas since 1968. For copies of divorce decrees, contact the district clerk in the district where the divorce was granted.
