What is a divorce certificate?

The divorce certificate is issued at the end of divorce proceedings at the family court. As soon as the divorce decree is finalized, the spouses have the opportunity to take legal action against the decree. Alternatively, the parties may declare a waiver of appeal. If the divorce decree finally becomes final, the divorce certificate confirms the completed divorce (you can order the certified translation of your divorce decree here). The divorce certificate contains information about the parties to the divorce, the family court where the divorce certificate was issued, as well as any arrangements regarding custody, etc.
