Earlie Schwoyer
Please read the guidance below before ordering birth, death or marriage certificates (official extracts from the registers). You can also download a portable document format (pdf) copy of our Leaflet S2: How to order a certificate (also known as an official extract) (159 KB pdf) and forms.
There are various options for obtaining a certificate of an entry from the statutory birth, death, marriage, adoption, divorce, civil partnership and dissolution registers, the Old Parish Registers and census records.
You can search for, and order, birth, death, marriage, divorce, civil partnership and dissolution of civil partnership, census and Old Parish Register certificates online at our ScotlandsPeople website.
Searching the indexes is free and certificates cost 12 per certificate. You will need a credit or debit card to use this service and we will send your extract within 15 working days.
A priority certificate is one that is needed urgently. An additional fee will be charged per certificate for priority processing. Priority orders received before 13:00 on a working day will be dispatched the same day; and orders received after 13:00, at weekends, or during public holidays will be reviewed within 1 working day and dispatched the same day.
Certificates from the Scottish records may also be obtained from local registrars of births, deaths and marriages. You can find their contact details from our Directory of Registrars in Scotland or the local authority website.
If paying by credit or debit card please quote your card number, cardholder's name, signature and address, start and expiry dates, security code (the three digit number on the reverse of the card) and, for Maestro transactions, the issue number where applicable. This will allow us to charge the correct amount whether the requested event is traced or not. (Please note that we do not accept American Express cards.) For security reasons we do not recommend sending credit or debit card details by email.
Certificates will normally be produced electronically from images of the actual register page entry. It is only in cases where the entry has been altered as a result of an RCE or contains a clerical error, that a typed certificate may need to be issued.
Should the data subject or legal representative of the data subject wish to obtain an unredacted version, they will need to provide a copy of their ID (passport, driving licence etc.) and copy of proof of address (utility bill etc.). This can be done via email to [email protected] at the time of ordering the certificate.
Please note that certificates (official extracts) are subject to Crown copyright and may only be used in accordance with our terms and conditions. You must also comply with your obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation, Data Protection Act 2018 and the Human Rights Act 1998. The contents of any certificate containing personal data about any living individuals should not be reproduced without obtaining the permission of those individuals first.

If you need a custody order for a child under 18, usually the child needs to live in Utah with one parent for at least 6 months before filing. There are exceptions. Our Finding Legal Help page has resources if you need help.
When you ask for divorce you need to give the court a reason for your divorce. Once reason is that you and your spouse have serious marital problems that cannot be fixed. This is called irreconcilable differences.
You can see all of the other grounds for divorce in Utah Code 30-3-1(3).
File with the district court in the county you or your spouse has lived for the past 3 months. See our page on Filing Procedures for more information.
When you file the court will give you a case number and the name of your assigned judge.
If you have children under 18 with your spouse, you must take some required classes within 60 days of filing the petition. There is a discount if you take the in-person classes within 30 days of filing. Learn about the classes on our Required Classes for Parents page.
If your children are 6-17 years old, they can also have them take a free online class. It teaches coping strategies for the divorce transition. Mental health professionals teach the children's course.
2. Share your information
You and the respondent must share information about the case. For more information and forms, see the Initial Disclosures web page and the Financial Declarations web page.
If the respondent files an answer, you usually must mdiation before your case can move forward. Mediation is a meeting where both parties try to resolve their differences by talking with neutral third person, the mediator. See our page on Divorce Mediation for more information.
OCAP might not produce all the papers you need to finish your case. What else you need to file will mostly depend on whether or not you have children. You can look at these checklists to see what is required:
You or the respondent can ask for a custody evaluation. This is done by a professional evaluator. The judge can order a custody evaluation even without a motion from a party. A custody evaluation may be expensive. The cost is usually split between you and the respondent. Our page on Custody Evaluation has more information.
If you disagree with the judge's decisions and thinks they made a legal mistake, you can file an appeal. You must do so within 30 days after final entry of the divorce decree. See our page on Appeals for more information.
If there is a clerical mistake in the decree, your or the respondent can ask the court to correct the decree. A clerical mistake is something like if the monthly child support payment amount is supposed to be $300 but was listed as $30. Our Motion to Correct Clerical Mistake has information and forms.
An exemplified court record is an authenticated copy of a certified copy. The judge certifies that the court is a court of record and that the clerk's signature appearing on the certification is original. The Clerk of Court then certifies that the judge is a judge and has control over the court records. The Clerk of Court also states that the judge's signature is genuine. This might be required to record your decree in another state.
An apostille provides extra autheentication. Some foreign countries require this. In Utah, the Lieutenant Governor provides this authentication. The Apostille Request Form is available on the Lt. Governor's website.

If the certificate/report of adoption, judgment of adoption, or adoption decree does not include all of the following items you will need to submit a separate document and provide any item not included before the amended record can be made.
If either parent/co-parent is also the parent/co-parent after the adoption, their information from the original birth record will be transferred to the new birth record exactly as it appears on the original birth record. This includes name, date of birth, place of birth, and address.
Illinois is a closed state regarding adoptions. Therefore, once an adoption is completed, the original birth record with the biological parent(s) listed and all associated documentation will become part of a sealed Illinois Department of Public Health file.
Illinois law allows for the re-adoption of a foreign-born child in Illinois, but does not require it. If a foreign-born child is re-adopted in Illinois and you wish to have a Record of Foreign Birth created, you will need to submit:
If you should decide not to re-adopt through the Illinois court system and you are a resident of the state of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records may make and file an Administrative Record of Foreign Birth as long as all required documentation is received. The required documentation consists of four specific items:
The Administrative Record of Foreign Birth will list the 4 required items on the face of the record and will be part of the certifiable record. If you do not want this information to show on a certified copy of the record, you will need to re-adopt your child through the Illinois court system and then apply for an Illinois Record of Foreign Birth.
