Do you need to apostille your Certified Divorce Decree / Certificate?
Are you divorced in the US and plan to remarry in a foreign country? Have you been told to also obtain a document called a single status apostille? There are many reasons why another country would ask you to apostille your divorce certificate.
In order to apostille your divorce decree / certificate, you will need to contact the Court and request for a certified copy. A certified copy will have the seal of the Court (preferably in color) a raised seal (Embossment), and the signature of the Clerk of the Court who is attesting to the authenticity of your documents.
Some Courts may also be able to email you a certified copy in PDF format. Please contact the Court in the County you were divorced in for instructions on how to obtain a new certified copy. If you are outside of the US, please contact your attorney or the Court directly. There may also be companies who can assist you in obtaining a certified copy for a fee. We can assist you once you obtain the certified copy and mail it to our office with our order forms. For a certified digital copy in a PDF format, you can email it to us with our completed order forms. Our forms can be downloaded here: Apostille Order forms
For example, if you were divorced in Florida and the Florida Court can issue a certified copy in a PDF format, you can email us the certified copy with our Florida apostille order forms.
Note: Most states DO NOT provide a certified digital copy in PDF format. Please, call the Court in the County you were divorced in for instructions on how to obtain a new certified copy.
Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries.
