Your Divorce Document Needs to Be More Than "Translated"
A divorce decree can contain much more than the basic fact that a marriage ended.
It may include:
Names of both spouses
Marriage information
Court information
Case numbers
Dates
Custody provisions
Property decisions
Alimony or support provisions
Name changes
Court orders
Judge's information
Seals and stamps
Handwritten or registry annotations
When the document is being submitted to an immigration authority, court, government agency, university, or another institution, omitting relevant information can create unnecessary problems.
At MJC Translate, we translate the document as a complete official record and provide the appropriate certification for your intended use.
Why You May Need a Certified Divorce Decree Translation
Immigration
Divorce records can be important evidence in immigration applications involving:
Green Cards
Family petitions
Adjustment of Status
Consular processing
K-1 visas
Citizenship and naturalization
Previous marriages
Proof of termination of a prior marriage
A divorce document may be used to establish that a previous marriage was legally terminated.
USCIS
If you submit a foreign-language divorce document as evidence to USCIS, an English translation meeting USCIS's translation requirements may be necessary.
Our certified translations include the documentation needed to establish the completeness and accuracy of the translation.
Courts & Legal Proceedings
Divorce decrees may need translation for:
Family-law proceedings
Custody matters
Property disputes
Support proceedings
Recognition of foreign judgments
International litigation
Marriage & Civil Registration
If you previously married and divorced, another country may require evidence that your previous marriage was legally terminated before allowing a new marriage to be registered.
Citizenship & Residency
Divorce records can also be requested during:
Citizenship applications
Residency applications
Dual citizenship procedures
Family reunification
International civil-registration processes

Frequently Asked Questions
Does USCIS require a certified divorce decree translation?
If your divorce decree is written in a foreign language and is submitted to USCIS as evidence, the foreign-language document generally needs a complete English translation accompanied by the appropriate translator certification.
Does USCIS require notarization?
Generally, USCIS does not automatically require a translation to be notarized.
Additional requirements can apply depending on another authority or specific procedure.

Does the translator need to be ATA-certified?
Not generally for USCIS.
USCIS's translation requirement focuses on translator competence and certification of completeness and accuracy.
ATA certification is a professional credential, but it is not the same thing as the certification required for a USCIS document translation.
Do I need to translate every page?
Yes, if the pages form part of the document being submitted.
Relevant text, stamps, seals, annotations, and other meaningful content should not simply be omitted.
What if my divorce decree has handwritten notes?
If the handwriting is legible, it should generally be addressed in the translation.
We can also identify illegible portions appropriately rather than guessing what they say.
What if I don't know whether I have a divorce decree or divorce certificate?
That's completely fine.
Upload the document and we can help you identify what type of record you have before you order.
Do I need an apostille?
Not necessarily.
An apostille is a separate authentication process and is only required when the receiving authority or destination country requires it.
Can you translate the apostille too?
Yes, when applicable.
Whether the apostille itself needs translation depends on the requirements of the receiving authority.
How quickly can I receive my translation?
Turnaround depends on the number of pages, language, complexity, and requested services.
Many standard documents can be completed within 24 hours.
Priority service is available for urgent requests.
