Question

Asked 7/19/2011

How/where do I get my divorce papers certified so I can change my name?

It was done in Illinois if it matters what state. Just got done today but didn't have time to get them certified because my sitter had to go to work. Does it usually take a long time to get it done? Thanks in advance!

Hi, bffychick,

Sorry, no-one has gotten to this question, yet.

In any event, you should have received a certified copy of your decree upon the order being finalized.

But, you can return to the clerk of the court and have a certified copy made in a matter of minutes, depending upon how busy you local clerk's office is. It will cost you about $1 per page. This is not something that lends itself well to accomplished but by visiting the court.

They SHOULD, but that might take up to a month. If the court is in a relatively small jurisdiction, you might call them and ask. If it is in Cook County, sigh.

Yep good old crook county so I suppose I should just go there myself one of these days. Thanks for the answer but man that sucks. That's cook county for you charging for something that they should have given you the first time for free. It's going to be more than 9.00 b/c it's 33 pages I'll have to do the math later, thanks P-bread as always you know your stuff!

Yes, you should GO there, but bring a good book.

OR, you can go here to order a certified copy by mail:

In any event, a certified copy of the entire document will cost $9.
