Frequently Asked Questions
How long does divorce certificate translation take?
While it takes 72 hours to translate a divorce certificate, if you need it sooner, you can choose our urgent delivery option and get the divorce document translated in 24 hours.
Can a damaged divorce certificate still be translated?
Yes, damaged divorce certificates can be translated as long as the words are understandable. Moreover, while translating, if our translator faces some kind of challenge, they will connect with you to clarify doubts. Please share the documents so we can analyse them properly.
Is a decree absolute different from a divorce certificate?
Yes, a decree absolute and a divorce certificate are different because they serve distinct purposes. A decree is a legal document issued directly by a court that officially and permanently ends a marriage, while a divorce certificate is a short, summary document used as basic proof that a divorce has taken place.
Does a foreign language divorce certificate need to be certified in the UK?
If you need to submit the foreign divorce certificate to official authorities, courts, or visa departments in the UK, you generally need a certified English translation for acceptance.
What is the difference between a divorce certificate and a divorce decree?
A divorce decree is a full court order signed by a judge that ends a marriage and lists rules for property, money, and children. A divorce certificate is a short vital record from a government office that only proves a divorce happened.
Can you translate a handwritten divorce certificate?
Yes! We can translate a handwritten divorce document. However, please make sure the written words are clearly readable.
What if my surname differs across my UK documents?
If your surname differs across multiple UK documents, you need to connect with the issuing authority to fix the discrepancy. This is essential because authorities might not approve your application due to confusion or request for further information.
Can I request a printed divorce document translation by post?
Yes, you can get the hard copy of the translated divorce certificate. When placing the order, please share the address where you need the hard copies to be delivered. Also, please note that additional charges may apply based on the certified translator’s location and your postal address.
Can certified divorce translation be upgraded to notarised later?
Yes! If you do need to upgrade certified divorce certificate translation to notarised later, we can do that. However, please note that it will incur additional cost.
Can I use one divorce certificate translation for multiple purposes?
In most scenarios, you can use the same divorce certificate translation. However, if you use the same, do check the exact requirements of the authority to ensure that it requires the same certification or formatting requirements.
