Certificate of dissolution or invalidity of marriage
A certificate of each dissolution of marriage or
declaration of invalidity of marriage ordered in this State shall be
filed with the Illinois Department of Public Health on a form furnished
by such Department. The form shall contain the social security
numbers of the parties whose marriage has been dissolved or declared
invalid. This form shall be prepared by the person filing the petition
for dissolution of marriage or declaration of invalidity of marriage
and shall be presented to the judge of the court for his inspection
prior to the entry of the final order. Failure to comply with this Act
shall not invalidate any judgment of dissolution of marriage or
declaration of invalidity of marriage. Immediately after the judgment
is granted, the clerk of the court shall complete the remaining entries
on the certificate. Within 45 days after the close of the month in
which the judgment is rendered, the clerk shall forward the certificate
to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
