What matters in this document

Certificate or court decree, the officer needs the right one

A divorce can end at the registry office or in court, and the two documents look nothing alike. The translation makes clear which one you hold, when the marriage ended and which surname you left with.

Court decisions, page by page

A decree runs several pages with the parties, the ruling and the date it took legal effect. Every page is translated, including the stamp that says the decision is final.

Date of divorce, not date of issue

The date the marriage legally ended is what the officer looks for. It is kept distinct from the date the certificate was printed.

Surname after divorce

The line recording whether a spouse kept the married surname or went back to the previous one is translated word for word.

Registry seals and numbers

The act record number, the office that registered the divorce and the seals are translated or described.

Which version do you have

Registry certificate or court decision, which one are you holding

A divorce ends in one of two documents, and they look nothing alike. Check which you have before you order, because the page count and the translation differ.

Registry certificate of divorce

One page, most cases

A single sheet on security paper from the civil registry, with a series and number and the country's coat of arms
Both former spouses, the date the marriage ended, the ground for the divorce, the surnames after divorce, the act record number and the office
The whole page: every field, the form text, the seal, the signature block and any stamp on the back
Asked for by USCIS to prove a previous marriage ended, and by courts and employers in family and benefit matters

Send the front and the back in one flat photo or scan each.

Court decision

Several pages, stamped

A typed document of two to ten pages on plain paper, with the court's name at the top, the judge's signature at the end and a stamp that it entered into legal force
The parties, the facts as the court recorded them, the ruling on dissolution, sometimes children and property, and the date it took effect
Every page in full, including the legal-force stamp, the court seal and any handwritten note about copies issued
Asked for when the divorce went through court and, in some countries, as the only final record

Send every page in order, including the last one with the stamp; blank pages are noted and not charged.

The whole document, not just the fields

The ruling, the stamp and the margins, all of it in English

Court header and case number

The court's full name, the case number and the judge's name at the top of a decision are transliterated and translated as printed, so the file can be matched to the court's records.

Every part of the ruling

Sections about children, support or property are translated along with the dissolution itself. A partial translation of a decision is not a certified translation.

Copy certification marks

A copy issued by the court carries a mark that the copy is true, a clerk's signature and a seal. Each is translated in the place where it appears.

Back page and margins

A registry certificate may carry a stamp or a note on the back or in the margin. It is translated in place, and a blank back is recorded as blank.

Where it is accepted

One translation, accepted where you need to file

The same certified file works for immigration, courts, universities and employers. Say who it is for when you order and the certificate is worded for that office.

USCIS

Green card, citizenship and asylum filings. Certification statement on every page set.

Immigration courts

Same certified translation, laid out page by page so the clerk can compare it with the original.

Universities and WES / ECE

Admissions offices and credential evaluators get the certified English file with the original attached.

Employers and licensing boards

HR departments get the translation with the certificate, ready to attach to an application.

Every name is compared with your passport spelling, every date and number with the original.

Questions answered

Divorce certificate translation, the questions we hear most

I only have the court decision, not a certificate. Is that enough?

Often yes, when the decision carries a stamp that it has entered into legal force. We translate the decision and the stamp; whether a separate certificate is required depends on the country and the office you file with.

Do you translate the whole court decision or just the ruling?

The whole document. A partial translation is not a certified translation, and USCIS asks for the complete text of anything you submit.

My ex-spouse's name is on the certificate. Whose passport spelling applies?

Yours for your name. For the other spouse, send a passport spelling if you have one; if not, standard transliteration is used and noted in the file.

The certificate says I went back to my maiden name. Does that need explaining?

It is explained by the certificate itself once the surname line is translated, which is why that line is never shortened.

How much does it cost and how fast is it?

From $23.70 per document, certification included. A one-page certificate is usually ready the next business day; a multi-page decree costs more, by word count, and the price is shown right after upload; the date is confirmed before you pay.
