About this document

A divorce certificate confirms that a marriage has been dissolved. Depending on the country, it is issued by the court that granted the divorce or by the civil registry that recorded it. Shorter than the judgment, it usually gives the identity of the former spouses, the date the divorce became final and the court involved, and sometimes the date of the marriage. For some procedures, the authority may also ask for the full judgment.
