While the Oregon Health Division holds statewide certificates related to births, deaths, marriages, and divorces, many other vital records resources exist. For example, most county clerk offices maintain marriage records dating from the beginning of the county to the present. Most circuit court offices have divorce case files (dating back to the 1800s in many cases) that include supporting records in addition to the decree. The following links provide access to useful vital records resources.
