==Instructions==<br />
'''Vital Records Office'''<br />
<br />
Since 2000, the Vermont vital records system includes eight types of vital events: births, deaths, marriages, '''divorces''', civil unions, dissolutions, fetal deaths, and abortions.<br />
<br />
Records for events that occurred within the past five years are maintained by the Department of Health. All others are with the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Divorce Certificate'''<br />
<br />
A divorce certificate or certificate dissolving a civil union is initiated by a lawyer or other individual handling the divorce or dissolution. The certificate is filed with the court as part of the divorce or dissolution proceedings. The court keeps the certificate until the decree becomes final, usually three months after the court hearing. When the decree is final, the court clerk signs the certificate and sends it to the Health Department for filing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Which office you must contact to order a vital record depends on how long ago the event took place:<br />
*New records - occurred in 2010 through the present<br />
:Order from the Department of Health<br />
*Older records - occurred in 2009 and earlier <br />
:Order from the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration<br />
<br />
