Final court decisions confirming the dissolution of marriage.

Divorce certificate vs decree

Divorce certificate translation and divorce decree translation

A divorce certificate is usually a concise civil-status document, while a divorce decree or judgment may contain more detailed legal information, including the court, parties, case number, decision and date of finality.

The receiving institution may request one specific document type. If you are unsure which document is required, check its official instructions first.

Immigration use

Divorce certificate translation for immigration applications

Immigration authorities may request divorce documentation to verify marital history, family relationships or eligibility in visa, residence and citizenship procedures.

If the divorce document forms part of a larger immigration file, send related civil-status and identity documents together so names and dates can be checked consistently.

Remarriage

Divorce document translation for marriage abroad

Before a new marriage can be registered, a civil registry or other authority may request evidence that a previous marriage has legally ended.

Requirements vary by country and authority, including the exact document, certification format and whether an apostille or legalization is required.

Certified or sworn?

Does a divorce certificate need certified translation?

The required translation format depends on the receiving authority and jurisdiction. Some procedures require certified translation, while others require a sworn translator or accept a standard professional translation.

Follow the exact requirements of the court, registry office or institution receiving the translated document.

Apostille

Divorce certificates and decrees with an apostille

If the divorce document carries an apostille and the receiving authority requires the apostille text in the target language, send it together with the certificate or decree.

Translating an apostille is different from obtaining an apostille. Legalization requirements should be confirmed with the relevant authority.

Names and dates

Keep personal details consistent across civil-status documents

Divorce documents are often submitted together with passports, birth certificates and marriage certificates. Consistent spelling of names and dates is important across the complete file.

If a passport uses a specific Latin-script spelling, send it as a reference where relevant.

Related civil-status documents

Divorce certificate translation with related family documents
