I never signed divorce papers. I am wanting to remarry and now need to know for certain that I am really divorced. It has been 15+ years.

That sort of information is generally public record and can be found in the court where the divorce was filed. In many cases, for a small fee or sometimes for free, you can discover such information online, just watch out for scammers.
If you have any doubts at all, this would be a good time to get advice from a lawyer.
By the way, why do you feel the need to get remarried? Wish I had taken this advice from a financial advisor: If you can fly it, float it or f*** it, rent it.

If you were the petitioner, the person who first filed, in most states you need not sign anything more. The court figures you would take steps to stop it otherwise, once you file and make the few court appearances, you are done. If you are the respondent and the dissolution has been entered you also do not need to sign anything. Your failure to do those things the court requests places you in default and the divorce goes ahead anyway.
Most counties now have an Internet look up for documents filed with the Clerk of the Court and/or the County Recorder. You can usually order the document copied and mailed to you over the phone with your credit card. If you hired an attorney for the proceedings you should have been sent a copy of the decree as part of the deal.

I don't think that you necessarily have to sign anything. The judges and lawyers do all the signing. Check in the county and city where your divorce was filed. There are also services that you can pay for that will track a divorce for you by your social security number. I would opt for the free way first.

you should have gotten a letter or post card in the mail. That is how it was for me. I filed many years ago. Or you can go to where you filed your marriage license and check there cause that is where you'll have to go if you were to get married again. Town hall or as is in NYC when Iived there City Hall. And you ONLY need your id and date of marriage or that you filed for divorce. Good luck.
Honestly,

I know this one. go to Superior court, name your city push enter you will need to know your case number its faster or you can just have the names and dates, it will prompt you. it may take a few minutes to figure out witch options to pick but it will give you the information. if it is still open or granted. it gives you the date. I didn't use www I just punch in what is written above and presto. I found what I was looking for and something I wasn't.

Contact your court house where papers were filed. Not filed, not divorced.

Contact the marriage license bureau in the state in which was filed.

You have to go to the courthouse where all papers are filed.

Look at your past bank statements, did it drop by half at that time?
