Divorce Certificate Translation
Divorce paperwork is checked closely because it proves that a previous marriage has legally ended. Caseworkers and registrars look for the court, the decree type, the date the decree was made absolute and the names of both parties, so the translation follows the decree in full rather than summarising it.
What the Translation Covers
-
Full Decree: Petition details, decree nisi or conditional order, decree absolute or final order, and dates.
-
Court Details: Issuing court, case number, jurisdiction and any accompanying orders.
-
Names and Dates: Both parties, dates of marriage and separation, translated exactly as recorded.
-
Certification Page: the translator's name, credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy for divorce certificates.
Before You Order
Which divorce document you hold changes what the receiving authority will accept.
-
Decree Absolute or Final Order: Send the final document, not only the conditional order or decree nisi.
-
Country and Court: The issuing court and jurisdiction are translated exactly as shown.
-
Apostille or Notarisation: Only needed if the decree is also used outside the UK.
If you hold both the conditional and final orders, send both so the sequence is clear.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates divorce decrees and dissolution certificates into English for UKVI, courts, registrars and pension providers. The full decree is translated and certified, and returned as a PDF with same-day completion available when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day.
Divorce certificate translation starts at £40 per document, with longer decrees priced from £0.09 per word after 400 words. Notarisation on divorce certificate orders is quoted separately, because the fee depends on the document and the notary's availability.
Most divorce documents are returned the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day, which covers urgent visa, court or wedding dates. Delivery for divorce certificates is confirmed in the quote before payment.
Yes. The translation includes the translator credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy, which is the format UK Visas and Immigration expects when a previous marriage must be evidenced.
Yes, if the divorce document is not in English or Welsh. Registrars need a certified translation before notice of marriage can be accepted.
No. Self-translations, or translations by family members, are not accepted by UKVI, registrars or courts. The divorce certificate translation must come from an independent translator or agency.
No. Clear scans or photographs of every page of the divorce certificate are enough, including the reverse and any court stamps. You keep the original; the certified translation is emailed as a PDF.
Yes. The issuing court, case number, dates and the type of decree are translated exactly, because those details are what the receiving authority checks.
Usually not for UK use. An FCDO Apostille or notarisation is only needed when the decree is used abroad or another authority asks for legalisation.
The decree nisi or conditional order is an interim stage; the decree absolute or final order ends the marriage. Send the final document, and include the earlier one if you have it.
