The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Division of Vital Records, does not issue certified copies of marriage records. For a fee and with proper identification, certified copies are available from the county clerk in the county where the marriage occurred (http://www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/countylisting.htm). Illinois marriage records are available from January 1962 through the present. The division does not issue certified copies of dissolution of marriage records. Dissolution of marriage indexes may be searched only by the husband's last name. Verifications of Illinois divorce records can be obtained by mail, by fax or in person. Additional information on how to obtain certified copies of Illinois vital records is also available via the Illinois Department of Public Health website at http://www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/.
