I need a marriage, two births, two deaths, and a divorce, all taking place between 1927-1931. Is this something i can just send to the courthouse for (I don't have exact dates), or do I need to hire someone to go through the records? Help!! >> Hi, For years 1921-1941, you will need to send to Des Moines for those records. There is a $10.00 charge for each birth, death or marriage record requested that is nonrefundable if record not found. Copies of Divorce are $6.00. Your request must include the name of the person on the record, the date of event, the county where event occurred, their parent's names if known, your name & relationship to the person, your address & phone number and your payment. If you are not sure of the county put down both county names. It will take 6 to 8 weeks. If no record is found they keep the payment as a search fee. Iowa Department of Public Health Vital Records Section Lucas Office Building 321 East 12th Street Des Moines, IA 50319-0075 to pay by credit card call: 1-515-281-4944 or 1-515-281-5871 Hope this helps you.
