What is included in a certified Hindi divorce decree translation?
You get three files: a scan of your Indian record, the full English translation, and a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
- Every heading, order, seal, signature, and endorsement translated
- The statute the court applied named as written, since a विवाह-विच्छेद decree reads differently under each personal law
- Hindi seals, endorsements, and annexures translated even when the order itself is in English
- The date the decree was passed carried through exactly, because the marriage ends on that date
- Review the translation and request corrections before certification

Documents we translate
Which Indian divorce documents can we translate?
Send the order the court passed, whatever language it is in. We name the statute behind it, confirm the page count and the price, and flag anything the receiving office will ask about.
Mutual consent
Order under Section 13B
The joint route, decided after the statutory waiting period between the two motions.
Related records
Other Indian marital documents
Judicial separation orders, marriage certificates, affidavits, and Hindi or Urdu annexures.
Country-specific evidence
Which Indian law ended your marriage?
India applies different marriage laws to different communities, and the statute named on your decree tells a reviewer which rules governed the dissolution.
Hindu Marriage Act
The most common route, decided by a Family Court
The 1955 Act covers Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh marriages. Section 13 handles contested grounds, while Section 13B provides divorce by mutual consent.
The mutual-consent route runs as two motions separated by a statutory waiting period, so the file often shows two dates before the final order.
An Indian decree dissolves the marriage with effect from the date it is passed. There is no separate finality stamp to hunt for, unlike German or Polish rulings.
Special Marriage Act
Civil and inter-faith marriages
The 1954 Act governs marriages registered civilly, including inter-faith couples, and it carries its own divorce provisions.
The decree looks similar at a glance, so we name the governing statute explicitly rather than letting a reviewer assume the Hindu Marriage Act applied.
Muslim personal law
Talaq, khula, and court confirmation
Divorce under Muslim personal law follows its own forms, and the paperwork may be an agreement or a court order confirming it.
These files frequently mix Hindi and Urdu on one page. We translate both scripts and identify the instrument instead of forcing it into a decree template.
Language
English order, Hindi everything else
Indian higher courts work in English, so many decrees arrive already in English and clients ask whether translation is needed at all.
It usually is. District and family courts in Hindi-speaking states write in Hindi, and even an English order carries Hindi seals, endorsements, and annexures.
How it works
How do I get an Indian divorce decree translated into English?
Upload the order and its annexures. We identify the statute and the court, confirm the page count and the price, then translate, cross-check, and certify.
- 01
Upload the order and every annexure
Send the full decree, both motions if it was a mutual-consent case, and any Hindi or Urdu page attached to it, including seals and endorsements.

Questions before ordering
What does USCIS require for a translated Indian divorce record?
The translation rule is constant: any non-English page in a U.S. filing needs a complete certified English translation. Which Indian document you hold depends on the law that governed your marriage.
How much does an Indian divorce decree translation cost?+−
The price is $24.95 per physical page, with no word cap. A mutual-consent order runs about three pages, while a contested judgment runs longer. We confirm the count before you pay.
How long does an Indian divorce decree translation take?+−
Most three- to five-page orders arrive within 24 hours. Longer judgments and files mixing scripts take more time, and we name the delivery window before production starts.
Will my Indian divorce translation be accepted by USCIS?+−
Your package holds the source copy, a full English translation, and a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If USCIS raises a translation issue, we revise it free. That does not replace holding the right record in the first place.
My decree is already in English. Do I still need a translation?+−
Often yes, in part. Indian higher courts write in English, but seals, endorsements, and annexures are frequently in Hindi, and those pages still need certified translation.
When does an Indian divorce actually take effect?+−
The decree dissolves the marriage with effect from the date the court passed it. Unlike German or Polish rulings, there is no separate finality endorsement to obtain afterwards.
Does the statute on my decree matter?+−
Yes, and we name it. The Hindu Marriage Act, the Special Marriage Act, and Muslim personal law govern different marriages, and the statute tells a reviewer which rules applied.
What about a khula or talaq document?+−
We translate it and identify what the instrument is, rather than relabelling it as a court decree. These files often carry both Hindi and Urdu, and both are translated.
Does USCIS require notarization or an apostille?+−
USCIS generally asks for a certified English translation, not a notarized one and not an apostille. A court, consulate, or foreign registry may set its own rules, so follow that recipient’s checklist.
Should I send both motions from a mutual-consent case?+−
Send everything you have. A Section 13B file runs as two motions with a waiting period between them, and the dates on both help a reviewer follow the timeline.
Does a certified translation make my Indian divorce recognized in the United States?+−
No. A translation makes the order readable; recognition is decided by the U.S. state where you file. The date the court passed the decree is usually where that review begins.
What we check before certification
What can make a translated Indian divorce record unclear?
These issues repeat in Indian marital-history packets. The translation should show which court ruled, under which statute, and on what date.
01
Hindi seals and endorsements left untranslated
Our check: An English order still carries Hindi stamps and attached pages, and we translate those instead of treating them as decoration.
02
The governing statute is not named
Our check: We carry the Act and section through exactly, because the same decree means different things under different personal laws.
03
Only the final order page is submitted
Our check: We tell you when the file looks partial, since the reasoning and earlier motions often carry the dates a reviewer needs.
04
A judicial separation order is filed as a divorce
Our check: न्यायिक पृथक्करण suspends the marriage without ending it, so we name that order for what it is instead of letting it read as a decree.
The standard behind these checks
AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.
How to check each one yourselfChecked before we certify. If an authority later asks for a translation-related correction, the revision is free.
Start my translationCommon USCIS contexts
When do I need a certified Indian divorce decree translation?
USCIS reads divorce evidence to see whether an earlier marriage ended lawfully and when, which an Indian decree establishes through its date and the statute it applied.
Send the Indian record together with its certified English translation. The translation must not replace the source, shorten it, or quietly tidy it.
I-130 / I-485
Spouse petition and adjustment
Proof that an earlier marriage ended supports the current marriage in a family-based case.
I-129F
K-1 fiancé(e) petition
Both parties must show that prior marriages ended and that they are legally free to marry.
N-400
Naturalization through marriage
USCIS asks for decrees or other records showing that an earlier marriage ended lawfully.
Courts
Name changes and state filings
A U.S. court reading an Indian order needs the statute, the date, and the court identifiers in English.
