Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Divorce Document Format

Countries dissolve a marriage very differently – a one-page registry certificate in some, a multi-page court judgment in others. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇵🇱 Poland · Wyrok rozwodowy

A court wyrok rozwodowy (divorce judgment) with a clause of finality (prawomocność). We translate the judgment and the finality endorsement, which IRCC and vital statistics offices rely on.

🇵🇰 Pakistan · Talaq / Divorce Certificate

A talaq deed and the NADRA/Union Council divorce effectiveness certificate issued after the reconciliation period. We translate the Urdu deed and the certificate confirming the divorce is effective.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Acta de Divorcio

The Registro Civil issues an acta de divorcio recording the sentencia. We preserve the acta number, issuing court and finality date; a certified translation is sufficient for IRCC.

🇨🇳 China · 离婚证 / 离婚判决书

Mutual-consent divorces produce a 离婚证; contested ones a 离婚判决书 (court judgment). We translate whichever you hold, preserving every seal.

🇷🇴 Romania · Sentință de divorț

A court or notarial divorce with a certificat de divorț. We provide the full certified translation IRCC requires.

🇮🇳 India · Decree of Divorce

A divorce certificate from a District or Family Court, often with a certificate of finality. Regional-language decrees need translation; we preserve the case number.

Whether your document is in Polish, Urdu, Romanian, Arabic, Chinese or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled process.

FAQs

Divorce Decree Translation: Common Questions

Does IRCC need my divorce documents translated?+
Yes. For a spouse or partner visa or settlement, IRCC requires proof that any prior marriage was legally terminated. A foreign-language divorce decree or certificate must be submitted with a complete certified English translation, or the application is delayed.
How much does it cost in Canada?+
$39.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A short certificate usually fits on one page; a full multi-page judgment is billed per page. No surcharge for rarer languages.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for short documents, most delivered the same working day. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request.
Do I translate the full judgment or just the certificate?+
It depends on the receiving body. Register offices and IRCC often accept a certificate or the decree pages showing the parties, date and finality; some courts want the full judgment. Send whatever you have and we translate it in full.
Can you translate an Islamic divorce (talaq)?+
Yes. We translate the talaq deed and the NADRA or Union Council divorce effectiveness certificate, rendering the Urdu text and the confirmation that the divorce is effective – what IRCC needs to see.
Do I need an apostille?+
A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the standard. An apostille (from $129) is only needed to remarry or register status abroad under the Hague Convention.
Can you translate the decree to restore my maiden name?+
Yes. Passport Canada, the provincial licensing and banks accept our certified translation of a divorce decree that authorises a return to a former or maiden name.
