Once the request for the new divorce certificate has been received by the court, it can take from one week to a month to be issued. The timing typically depends on the age of divorce, but also the size of the courthouse. If the divorce has been filed over 15 years ago, it may be sent to records storage and will take longer to obtain. If the divorce took place prior to 1979, it will have been archived and a special request to the Archives will be required.
