Florida Public Records

You can check into court records if the will went through probate, then retrieve it either online or by going to the courthouse records department, depending on the particular court. In some cases the will is recorded, however, attorneys have advised not to do so due to privacy concerns and tendency of the will being amended after the recording. When a resident of Florida passes away, the person which is in possession the will is required to turn it over to the court clerk where the deceased lived. You can check more about the law and how it applies to you, such as whether you are mentioned in that will, are you an interested party named in the will. Check both official records (recorded documents such as deeds) and court records.

You can look up incidents, including DUI's by using crime mapping. The city police or county sheriffs release reports of incidents on a regular basis, and is thereafter published by private sites. The search can be narrowed to only show accidents, fatalities and so on.

Marriage licenses are issued from the county where they take place by the clerk/court. The state uses a private company. If you know which county, their site can tell you how to request it.

Florida Department of Health states on their website that requests by email, will make your email address public. Any requests by email to the department is public and they warn you of this. I'd like to see whether the same is true for private companies filling the role of providing the same services on behalf of the state. Florida's doh has this policy not just for marriage records requests, but for many other if not all records requests which disclose your email address. Check disclosure policies regarding your specific request first.

You can view the address either by physicians’ names or practice/business names by using Florida’s department of health’s medical license search online. There are five tabs when you locate the physician’s name or practice, they are: license information, secondary locations, disciplinary actions, subordinate practitioners and practitioner profile. The practitioner’s profile shows the doctor’s primary practice address, medic-aid (participation in the program), staff privileges, institution name, email address, other state licenses and additional information under the other tabs. The doctor’s license does not need to be active to view this information. The results I found included physicians that were retired, deceased, others which their license status currently null and void, voluntarily relinquished, holds as well as clear and active. You can still see the addresses of the physicians which have retired, relinquished their license, are on hold and other in-active status.

Generally, the event of the death needs to be recorded with the local health department withing a certain period of time, about 3 days or more. The state also have get the death notice withing a certain period of time. This makes me think in Florida!

You can either go to the state's Bureau of Vital Statistics (Florida Department of Health), there a few ways of requesting them, or you can search through questions with a query and see if anyone has used other ways of doing it.

It's easier to look up records of your self since much of the privacy laws will not be a factor. You can also see how easy it is to find information about yourself. To find records, many of them free, they will need to be found, or dug up. Another advantage you have over looking for records of another is that you know where to look and not have to rely on a list of past addresses. If you're looking to start with free records, which I recommended since you have little to lose other than time, try the free case search on this page (under Recent divorce records, court criminal actions, civil lawsuits and bankruptcy filings.) For other court filing, which are also free to the public depending on the area, the county court website offers free online open public searches. The Orange county clerk's webpage is a good example, all you need is a last name, I was able to view criminal cases from traffic to felonies. The results for this one are detailed showing offenses, hearings, notices, motions and more. If you find a case by using the court search below mentioned earlier, there is an option Recent divorce records, court criminal actions, civil lawsuits and bankruptcy filings. To receive updates when something new happens (filing, motions, notices etc...) with that case (this is also free). Good luck, if you're having any trouble finding specific records, you'll have to be more specific as to which record and where so that others can help.

Check crime mapping. It may cover your area/police department. There are press releases from independent law enforcement departments. Crime mapping will let you zero in and check out the area's arrests.

Accident reports are generally from individual police departments, including the Florida Highway Patrol per section 316.066 of the Florida Statutes.

If you are aware of the county where the filing took place, you can go directly to the court's website and see how to order them. Court records are generally public records. Vital records, specially official certificates are not as easy to obtain as they come with some restrictions depending on the agency.

Florida’s department health issues divorce abstracts from 6/1927 to today. The clerk office in the county where the divorces occurred has records prior to that period. If you need the entire record, judgment, divorce decree or other documents of the dissolution, you will also need to go to the county clerk, as the department of health only provides abstract reports (of divorces earlier than sixty days). Requests for this document are without restrictions, which means that anyone can request them for a fee of four dollars.

Divorces can be found by searching online court records in individual Circuit courts. Circuit courts in Florida have general jurisdiction over cases, including divorces. There's a free case search webpage for courts individually, maybe not all, the ones that were easy to find were in Hillsborough, Orange, Broward, Lee, Escambia and few others. There are more that cover Florida's 67 counties and 20 circuit courts. When you are looking for records, mostly with free ones, you will need to do some of the looking for the database before you can even search it. These sites/databases are not marketed for maximum exposure online, but to make some public services available on the net.

The Florida Department of Health vital statistics office provides divorce records starting from 1927. This searches the entire state, however, if you need more information than just the evidence of the divorce, or is not enough for whatever purpose, you will have to reach the court clerk of the county in which the divorce took place. The health department's website claims that there are no restrictions to searching and obtaining divorce certifications, however a fee is imposed for each search.

This open public record site helps with looking up information with where and how to get what you are looking for. It does not provide records and all feeds are from externally produced data. The original source of many records are public agencies, whether by county, city or state, even federal. Looking up names and addresses does not always follow the same path or method. Some are much easier than others and will take more effort, maybe even luck. When you do an address search, mark down all the relatives, you should actually make a note of all related information as it can be helpful later on. Any information is helpful, even the place of birth or even more important, the date of birth.
