Marriages entered into at City Hall can be dissolved by divorce. In some countries, a lawyer is not required and a competent court can make a valid decision without legal assistance. You may be required to present a divorce certificate or divorce decree to document this decision for purposes of remarriage, citizenship, or other official proceedings.
Difference between divorce certificate and divorce decree
The divorce judgment will be announced by the judge at the end of the hearing. Just like any other court decision, it is possible to contest a divorce. The court issues a divorce certificate only after a set period of time has passed. After this date, the marriage is dissolved.
If both spouses agree not to contest, the judgment becomes final when announced and this fact will also be noted in the judgment. After divorce, both spouses receive a judgment. A divorce certificate is usually issued automatically after the appeal period has expired. Additional copies of the divorce certificate can be reissued upon request.
When is a certified translation of a divorce decree required?
Copies of certificates are often accepted as evidence of divorce within national borders if the original can be produced by personal agreement. However, if you are filing a divorce certificate as evidence abroad, or if you are submitting a foreign certificate to your home country, a certified translation is usually required. Since a divorce certificate is a public document, a simple translation is not acceptable. Translation of such documents requires a sworn translator's translation or a notarized translation certificate, depending on the country.
Such certified translations include not only the translator's signature but also a stamp or seal. Some countries also require a consular signature. For example, a sworn translator is usually sufficient in Germany, Spain, and France, while a notarized document is required in Portugal, Switzerland, and some other countries.
