Guam Free Public Records

By Christopher Evans


Obtaining vital documents in the island of Guam may not be as common as acquiring public data in most states in the US, but the procedures and requirements involved in getting hold of these reports are pretty much the same. In other words, if you want access to Guam public records, you are going to have to adhere to the government's policies and meet the necessary requirements in order to get a certified copy of a particular vital record, whether it's a birth certificate, death report, marriage license, or divorce decree.

The Office of Vital Statistics in the island is being supervised by the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services. It is the central office of all vital documents in the island, with the exemption of divorce decrees. The Office of Vital Statistics is in charge of the proper storage and maintenance of the records, as well as its dissemination to the public. There are two basic ways to submit a request, through mail or in person. Furthermore, fees are only accepted in money order form, which is payable to Treasurer of Guam. Personal checks are not valid, unless it is an on-island check.

Since divorce decrees are not accessible through the vital statistics office, applicants of this type of public document can approach the Clerk of Superior Court of the island of Guam. You can contact the office or visit their official portal by checking out the website of the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services for more information regarding the procedures and requirements in obtaining such report. Keep in mind that this is a different office; therefore its policies may be different from the vital statistics office.

On the other hand, if the lengthy procedures, tough requirements, and unyielding red tape are just too much for you, perhaps a good online record provider can give you what you need in terms of background research using comprehensive vital documents and public data. Believe it or not, almost every type of information these days are accessible through the Internet. All you need is an efficient tool and a reliable source. With that said, there are quite a few reputable record search websites out there that are capable of generating inclusive data.

For many novice researchers, using an independent record search website can be quite daunting, especially if you are not sure if it is going to yield accurate results. But one way to ensure the legitimacy of the online service is to try it out. Most reputable online record providers offer free trials to potential customers. You do not have to install third party software on your computer or even take out your credit card just to take advantage of the website's free trial offer.

When you become familiar with the service, you can start deciding whether or not you want to fully acquire the services that the record retrieval website has to offer. A one-time payment option will be available to those looking to run searches quite frequently. This way, every time you perform a public records online search, you won't have to worry about fees and extra charges. Unlimited access in exchange for one-time payment is actually a reasonable option for someone who does background research on almost a daily basis.
