For those who cannot visit we are offering the Divorce Case Papers Copying Service. The fee for this service is $45.00. This includes the copies, the administrative fee and postage/handling.
What we will copy
We will copy the divorce case papers in their entirety or copies to the value of $30.00. We cannot look for particular documents as this would involve research and we do not undertake research on behalf of enquirers.
If the number of documents in the packet exceeds copies to the value of $30.00 you will be contacted and asked if you are willing to pay an additional amount to have the remainder of the papers copied. If you do not wish to pay the additional amount, the copies will be made in the order in which the documents are stored.
A print-friendly order form is also available to use
What information do you need to provide to obtain copies?
To order copies you will need to provide:
- the names of the couple (petitioner and respondent)
- year of divorce
- registered divorce number
- Container/Box number (if known)
How do you find this information?
Check the Divorce Indexes on microfiche - available in both the reading rooms and online.
The Divorce Papers Guide in the reading rooms lists the relevant box numbers.
If you have obtained a copy of the NSW marriage certificate an annotation may be given showing the divorce number (if you are unsure send a photocopy of the certificate with your order).
