Certified Divorce Document Translation

A Mexican acta de divorcio can print three different dates: resolución, ejecutoria and registro. Only the ejecutoria date ends the marriage, so the three are labelled separately instead of merged into one.

The court's sentencia and the registry's acta are separate documents, and offices differ on which one they want. Sending both lets the reviewer take the one that fits without a second order.

The acta de matrimonio carries its own marginal note recording the divorce. That note is translated with the rest of the page, because it is often the line proving the earlier marriage ended.

Compound surnames stay whole. Pérez Anguiano remains two words, and a second surname of non-Hispanic origin is carried exactly as printed rather than reshaped to fit a US form.

Ukraine records a divorce two ways, and only one of them ends in a certificate. A registry divorce at ДРАЦС produces a свідоцтво про розірвання шлюбу; a court divorce produces the рішення суду instead.

A court decision counts from the day it enters legal force, and that mark is often stamped separately. We translate it as its own dated element so the date the marriage ended stays visible.

Where the registry issued a витяг from the state register rather than a certificate, the витяг is the document to send. It carries the act record number a receiving office looks for.

Ukrainian names carry a по батькові, and a decree can transliterate it differently from the passport. We render the decree as printed and note the difference instead of quietly matching one document to the other.

A Chinese divorce can end in a 离婚证 or in a court paper, and the two are not interchangeable. The civil affairs bureau issues the 离婚证 booklet; a court issues a 民事调解书 or a 民事判决书.

A 民事调解书, the civil mediation statement, dissolves the marriage by itself, so no certificate follows it. The 离婚协议书 records the terms the couple agreed but does not carry the status on its own.

The 离婚证 prints both parties' 18-digit ID numbers next to the issuing bureau's registration number. Those digits are copied exactly, because the rest of the packet is matched on them.

A 户口簿, the household register, shows marital status in a field of its own and is often filed beside the divorce paper. We translate the set together so the two entries agree.

Brazil issues no divorce certificate. The divorce is written onto the marriage record as an averbação, and the proof is a fresh certidão de casamento showing that annotation.

A certidão printed before the averbação proves the marriage and stops there. A new second copy from the cartório, or a certidão de inteiro teor, carries the divorce line.

Where there were no minor children, the divorce may have been done at a notary under Lei 11.441/2007 rather than in court. The escritura pública de divórcio is then the operative document.

Brazilian dates run day first, so 06/07 reads one way in São Paulo and another in a US office. We keep the printed figures and spell the month out beside them.

The свидетельство о расторжении брака carries a line that weak translations flatten: the surname each spouse holds after the divorce. That line is the proof of a name change, so it is rendered field by field.

An issue date is not the date the marriage ended. Where a court decided the case, the marriage ended when the решение entered into force, and both dates belong in the translation.

Series and number sit together on the form, usually Roman numerals followed by a two-letter code. We keep that pairing intact, since the issuing registry office is identified by it.

Отчество is a patronymic and not a middle name, and shortening it to an initial breaks the match with the passport. All three name parts are carried across in the order printed.

A Dominican sentencia is not the end of the process. The divorce is pronounced before the Oficialía del Estado Civil and entered in the register. The acta de divorcio that follows is what most offices ask to see.

Actas come from the Junta Central Electoral with a libro, folio and acta reference printed together. The three stay as one identifier in the translation so the entry can be found again.

Divorces granted under Ley 142-71 to non-residents come out of a single hearing, so the file is short. Every page is translated, including the record of appearance, because each one carries part of the proof.

Both surnames appear on Dominican records, and a married woman's entry may show hers with de and the husband's name. The printed form is kept, so her divorce record and her birth record still read as one person.

In France the divorce is written into the margins of the civil records rather than onto a paper of its own. It appears as a mention marginale on the acte de mariage and on each spouse's acte de naissance.

Only the copie intégrale reproduces those margins. An extrait can leave out the very line that carries the divorce, so the copie intégrale is the version worth ordering.

Since 2017 a divorce par consentement mutuel is signed by both lawyers and deposited with a notaire, with no judge involved. The attestation de dépôt is the proof on that route.

Where a judge did rule, the jugement de divorce is usually asked for with its certificat de non-appel. We translate that attachment together with the judgment so the pair reads as one set.

Polish divorces are court judgments and nothing else. The wyrok rozwodowy takes effect once it carries the klauzula prawomocności, the finality clause the court stamps onto it.

The registry office then adds a wzmianka dodatkowa to the marriage act. An odpis zupełny reproduces those annotations in full, which is why offices usually ask for the zupełny rather than the short form.

The sygnatura akt, the case reference, runs across every page of the judgment. We keep it on each page so a reviewer can tie the whole set to one case.

A spouse returning to a pre-marriage surname declares it at the USC, and that declaration can sit on a separate sheet. We translate whichever page carries it, since the rest of the packet is matched on the name.

German family courts issue a Scheidungsbeschluss, and it is final only once the Rechtskraftvermerk is on it. That note confirms the decision can no longer be appealed.

The note is often printed on the back of the last page or on a sheet of its own. Include it with the scan, because it carries the date the marriage ended.

Older files say Scheidungsurteil, from before family matters moved to the FamFG procedure. We translate the term as printed and keep the German word beside the English.

The Eheregister holds its own record, and an Eheurkunde drawn afterwards shows the marriage as dissolved. Names on it are checked against the court decision before we certify.

An Italian file often holds two decisions rather than one. Separazione and divorzio are separate stages with separate dates, and only the second ends the marriage.

The divorce is annotated on the marriage record, so the estratto per riassunto dell'atto di matrimonio shows it. That extract is what most offices abroad ask to see.

Some divorces were agreed through negoziazione assistita or signed before the comune, with no judge deciding. The accordo and the registry annotation are the operative papers on that route.

Going the other way, a US decree sent for trascrizione keeps its form layout field by field. An Italian officer reads the boxes, so we do not turn them into prose.

Korean divorces surface as an entry in the family relation register, printed on demand rather than issued once. The 혼인관계증명서, the marriage relation certificate, is the printout that carries it.

That certificate comes in a general and a detailed version. The general one omits past marriages, so the 상세 (detailed) version is the one showing the divorce entry.

협의이혼, divorce by agreement, runs through a family court confirmation and is then reported to the district office. The confirmation date and the report date differ, and both are translated as printed.

Records from before 2008 come from the older 호적 system, and the entries are laid out differently. We translate the form in front of us instead of restating it in current terms.

Indian divorces end with a court decree rather than a registry certificate. What you send is the certified copy issued by the family court, carrying the court seal and the true-copy endorsement.

The decree names the act it was granted under, such as the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act. That reference is translated as written, because it tells the receiving office which law applied.

Petition number, case year and the bench designation run through the pages as one reference string. We keep it intact so the copy can be checked back against the court record.

Many family courts write in English while the seals, endorsements and marginal notes stay in Hindi or a regional language. Those parts are translated alongside the English text instead of being passed over.
