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 the Home Office and register 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 the Home Office.

🇨🇳 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. The EU multilingual annex is no longer accepted since 1 January 2021; we provide the full certified translation.

🇮🇳 India · Decree of Divorce

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

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate divorce documents both into English and from English into any target language. Whether your document is in Polish, Urdu, Romanian, Arabic, Chinese or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for the Home Office, a register office or HMCTS.

FAQs

Divorce Decree Translation: Common Questions

Does the Home Office need my divorce documents translated?+
Yes. For a spouse or partner visa or settlement, UKVI 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 the UK?+
£29.95 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 UKVI 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 UKVI needs to see.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille?+
A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the standard. An apostille (from £149.95) is only needed to remarry or register status abroad under the Hague Convention.
Can you translate the decree to restore my maiden name?+
Yes. HM Passport Office, the DVLA and banks accept our certified translation of a divorce decree that authorises a return to a former or maiden name.
