Question Number 95
Is it possible to obtain copies of marriage and divorce certificates? If so, what is the process for obtaining them? Thank-you.
In Alberta, marriage certificates are available from from:
Government Services
Alberta Registries, Vital Statistics
Box 2023
Edmonton, Alberta
T5J 4W7
Phone: (780) 427-7013
E-mail: vs@gov.ab.ca
There is no such document as a divorce certificate. The Provincial Archives holds divorce court records for some Judicial Districts in Alberta for the time period roughly 1920-1970. More recent records would still be held by the Court that handled the matter.
To access these divorce records, it is necessary to know both when and where in Alberta the matter was heard.
