Need a divorce decree translated? We provide a certified English translation of your divorce decree or divorce certificate with a signed certificate of accuracy, accepted by USCIS, UKVI, courts and civil registries. It proves you’re free to remarry and resolves prior-marriage questions in immigration and legal filings.

Turnaround and express delivery

Standard turnaround depends on document length and current workload, and we confirm the exact delivery date before you pay. If your deadline is tight, choose the express option at checkout and your decree moves to the front of the queue.

Details:

• Standard orders are queued in the order they arrive; you receive a confirmed completion time upfront.
• Express delivery prioritizes your file, with the same translator quality checks compressed into a shorter window.
• Rush service is available for single-page decrees as well as multi-page judgments with attachments.
• You get progress updates by email, and the finished files are delivered electronically, with hard copies shipped on request.

If a court or agency gave you a filing deadline, tell us the date when ordering and we will confirm whether express delivery meets it before you commit.

Supported languages

We translate divorce decrees to and from the major European, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African languages, working with sworn and certified translators who are native speakers of the target language.

Details:

• Common requests include Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog.
• Rare-language pairs are also handled; if your language is not listed, send us a request and we will confirm availability and price.
• The translator works in the direction of their native language, which matters for legal terminology such as custody, alimony, and division of property.
• If your decree contains names in a non-Latin script, we discuss transliteration conventions with you so the spelling matches your passport and other documents.

International acceptance of translations

A translation is accepted abroad when it meets the requirements of the receiving authority, so we prepare each decree according to the destination country’s rules.

Details:

• For many purposes a certified translation with a signed statement from the translation provider is sufficient.
• Some countries require a sworn translation made by a translator certified or appointed in that country; we arrange this where the destination demands it.
• Documents intended for use abroad often need an apostille on the original decree first; we advise you on the correct order of steps so the translation is not rejected.
• Before ordering, tell us which authority will receive the translation (court, immigration office, civil registry, bank) and we confirm the required format in writing.

We cannot guarantee acceptance by every authority, but matching the stated requirements is the best way to avoid rejections.

Pricing per page and add-ons

Pricing is based on the number of pages in the decree, with a clear per-page rate shown before checkout, so you know the total cost before you order.

Details:

• The base price covers translation of the decree itself, certification of the translation, and electronic delivery.
• Multi-page judgments, annexes, and attached agreements are counted as additional pages at the same per-page rate.
• Optional add-ons include express delivery, notarization of the translator’s statement, sworn translation for jurisdictions that require it, and shipping of printed copies.
• Hard-copy shipping is charged at the carrier’s rate and depends on destination and speed.
• If part of the document is illegible or handwritten, we flag it before starting and agree with you on how to handle it, so there are no surprise charges after delivery.
