Frequently Asked Questions

Are South Carolina marriage records public?
Marriage records in South Carolina are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in South Carolina?
Yes. Search the Court of General Sessions / Court of Common Pleas case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most South Carolina counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
How much does a South Carolina background check cost?
A name-based background check in South Carolina costs $25 through the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Fingerprint-based checks for licensing or employment cost more and require submitting prints through an approved vendor. Court-issued conviction records may carry separate fees.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in South Carolina?
In South Carolina, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by South Carolina law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in South Carolina is known as "expungement" and runs through the General Sessions Court (via Solicitor).
