What is a Divorce Certificate Translation?
Divorce certificate translations are not as common as certificate translations, but they can be equally important. Divorce certificate translations are needed whenever a divorce certificate has been issued in a different language from that used in the country where it has been requested.
In many cases, a divorce certificate may be written in a script totally different from that used in any other country, making even guessing what is contained in the divorce certificate impossible. For example, a Chinese divorce certificate must definitely be translated before being used anywhere else in the world, as it will be printed in Chinese characters.
A divorce certificate translation may be needed when someone wishes to remarry outside his or her own country, or to establish a change in legal marital status when there are questions of paternity or the distribution of marital or personal assets, just to mention a couple of reasons.
What is Involved in a Divorce Certificate Translation?
A divorce certificate is very similar to a marriage certificate, although it tends to have less information recorded on it. Typical information on a divorce certificate includes:
- the names of the two spouses;
- the date of their divorce;
- the location where the divorce took place or the legal jurisdiction that confirmed the legality of the divorce;
- the reason for the divorce (in some cases);
- any provisions for spousal and/or child support (depending on the jurisdiction).
In some countries, a traditional marriage may at some time be followed by a traditional divorce, making for an unusual or non-standard divorce certificate. In some cases, the divorce may simply amount to a piece of paper with a brief statement on it, signed by a religious authority. This may still be legally valid in another country, and hence its translation is still important.
