Prepared around
your legal documents.
Tell us whether the translated divorce record is for a UK court, Home Office application, remarriage, foreign registry or another recipient. Each authority may have different certification and document requirements.
Immigration & marital status
A divorce order may be relevant where previous marital status needs to be evidenced. Check the specific application requirements; we translate the document but do not determine whether an overseas divorce is legally recognised.
Divorce orders & records
We translate parties’ names, court and case numbers, issue dates, declarations, final-order wording, seals and visible annotations. Interim and final orders are identified faithfully as written.
Courts & overseas use
For litigation, remarriage or use abroad, the receiving body may specify notarisation, sworn translation or legalisation. Confirm the requested format before ordering.
Requirements vary. Share any instructions from the receiving authority before ordering.
Every order.
Every legal detail.
Divorce records vary between jurisdictions. We translate the wording of the actual order, including the distinction between interim and final decisions where shown, rather than assuming all documents establish a completed divorce.
- Court name, case number and issuing jurisdiction
- Parties’ names, dates and document references
- Operative wording, declarations and schedules
- Signatures, seals, stamps and legible marginal notes
Before you order
Provide the complete decree, final order or overseas judgment, including any schedules. Let us know the source language and exactly where you will submit it.
In England and Wales, the official term is final order for newer divorces and decree absolute for earlier proceedings. GOV.UK explains how to obtain a copy. For foreign or legal use, check apostille support and legal translation options. Translation does not establish the validity of the underlying divorce.

What is included in a certified divorce decree translation?
The translation covers the complete legible document, including court name, parties, case references, dates, order wording, signatures, stamps and any visible notes. It is accompanied by a signed statement identifying the translation provider and confirming accuracy.
What is the difference between a decree absolute and a final order?
For divorce proceedings begun in England and Wales before 6 April 2022, the document finalising divorce is generally called a decree absolute. For proceedings begun on or after that date, it is called a final order. Foreign jurisdictions may use different titles. We translate the actual wording on your document.
Can you translate a foreign divorce judgment for remarriage or immigration?
Yes, we can translate the overseas order or certificate you supply. Whether the document proves a legally recognised divorce for remarriage, immigration or another purpose is decided by the relevant authority, not by the translator.
How much does divorce decree translation cost?
Translation for court, divorce and legal proceedings costs £41.45 per page. General visa, immigration and other non-legal-use certified translations start from £15.45 per page where that category applies. We confirm the correct category and final quote after reviewing the document and intended use.
How long does a certified divorce decree translation take?
A clear, short document is typically translated in 1–2 working days. Multi-page judgments, handwritten notes and specialist legal terminology may need longer. Delivery options are confirmed with your quotation.
Do I need a notarised translation or apostille?
Not necessarily. Certification may be sufficient for some recipients, while overseas authorities or courts can require sworn translation, notarisation or legalisation. Check the receiving authority’s exact instructions before ordering additional services.
Can I upload a scan or photograph of my divorce order?
Yes, if the file is complete and clearly legible. Include all pages and schedules, any reverse-side annotations, stamps and signatures. Some authorities also require the original source document separately.
Can you issue a replacement decree absolute or change the result?
No. CVT translates existing divorce orders and judgments. We cannot issue copies, amend the court’s decision, change the marital-status outcome or certify the legal validity of the divorce. For a replacement English or Welsh final order or decree absolute, use the issuing court’s official procedure.
