Certified Divorce Decree Translation

When you've been married before, many applications ask you to prove that the earlier marriage legally ended. If your divorce decree, judgment or annotated marriage record is in Spanish, SurePage Translations prepares a complete, certified English translation signed by a qualified human translator.

Documents we translate

• Divorce decrees and final judgments (sentencias de divorcio)
• Certificates of divorce issued by a civil registry (actas de divorcio)
• Marriage certificates with a divorce annotation in the margin (anotación marginal de divorcio)
• Annulment records and court resolutions declaring a judgment final (causa ejecutoria)
• Settlement agreements and related court orders, when they're part of what you need to submit

Divorce documents vary a lot from country to country. In some countries the divorce is proven with a court judgment; in others with a registry certificate or an annotation on the original marriage record. Upload everything you have, and you'll see each file as its own document before you pay.

Why accuracy matters

Divorce decrees are legal documents. They contain court names, case numbers, judges' names, dates of filing, judgment and finality, and sometimes terms about children, support or property. Our translators:

• Translate the full text, including headers, case numbers, seals, stamps and signature notations
• Use accurate, consistent legal terminology, with a short translator's note when a term has no direct English equivalent
• Keep names, dates and numbers exactly as they appear in the original
• Translate marginal notes and certifications of finality, which reviewers often look for

What's included

• A complete English translation that follows the original's structure.
• A signed translator certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in Spanish and English, naming the document translated.
• A secure PDF by email and in your account, with printed copies by mail if you need them.
• Free corrections for 30 days after delivery.

Where it's used

• USCIS family petitions, adjustment of status and naturalization, to show prior marriages ended (see Certified Translation for USCIS)
• Consular and visa processing
• Getting married again in the U.S.
• Name changes and court proceedings

Each office decides what it accepts. Some ask for a certified copy of the final judgment, or proof that it became final, in addition to the decree itself. Check your instructions; if you're working with an attorney, ask which documents they need.

How it works

1. Upload every page of the decree or certificate, including any back pages with stamps.
2. Choose where you're submitting the translation.
3. Confirm your pages and see your exact price before paying.
4. A qualified translator translates and certifies your document by the delivery time shown.
5. Download your certified translation.

Long judgments are fine. You'll see the page count and total before you pay, and you can split a file into separate documents if it contains more than one.
