A certified translation of your divorce decree is required for immigration petitions, remarriage applications, custody proceedings, and legal filings where proof of marital status must be verified in English.
A certified divorce decree translation is required any time you need to submit a foreign language divorce document to a U.S. institution, court, or government agency.
County clerks and marriage license offices require proof that a prior marriage has legally ended. A certified translation of a foreign divorce decree satisfies this requirement.
USCIS requires certified translations of divorce decrees when a prior marriage is relevant to your immigration case. This includes spousal visa petitions, adjustment of status, and citizenship applications.
Courts handling custody disputes across borders need translated divorce decrees to understand existing custody arrangements, support obligations, and parental rights established in the original decree.
When property settlements or asset divisions from a foreign divorce need to be enforced or referenced in the United States, a certified translation of the decree is required.
If your divorce decree includes a legal name change or reversion to a previous name, the translated decree serves as supporting documentation for updating government IDs and records.
Health insurance carriers, life insurance companies, and benefits administrators may require a translated divorce decree to process changes in coverage, beneficiary designations, or marital status updates.
When you order a certified divorce decree translation from us, the final deliverable includes everything required for acceptance by USCIS, courts, and government agencies.
Note on notarization: USCIS does not require notarization for certified translations. A signed certificate of accuracy is sufficient. However, some courts, consulates, and foreign institutions do require notarized translations. We also offer notarization as an add-on if your specific situation calls for it.
If your divorce decree is going to another country, you may need an apostille before the translation. The apostille authenticates your document for international use. Get the apostille first, then translate the entire packet.
A certified divorce decree translation is priced with a live quote based on page count. A page is defined as 250 words or less. Divorce decrees vary in length depending on the country and complexity of the case, so multi-page documents will be priced accordingly. Notarization is available as an add-on if required.
Standard certified divorce decree translations are delivered within 2 to 3 business days. Call (571) 384-4491 to check rush availability for urgent needs. Longer documents may take slightly more time depending on page count.
It depends on the requesting agency. USCIS typically requires the full divorce decree, including all pages, signatures, and stamps. Some courts or institutions may accept a summary or final judgment page only. If you are unsure, translate the full document to avoid delays or rejections.
No. A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator attesting that the translation is complete, accurate, and that the translator is competent in both languages. A notarized translation adds an extra step where a notary public verifies the translator's identity and witnesses their signature. USCIS requires certified translations but does not require notarization. Some courts and foreign institutions may require notarization on top of certification. We also offer notarization as an add-on.
