For remarriage abroad, name changes, and residency files where a foreign office needs proof that a previous marriage legally ended.
Overview
Divorce Decree Apostilles for Nashville residents
A foreign civil registry will often ask for proof that any prior marriage has ended before permitting a new marriage. Residency and name change applications can require the same proof.
Our divorce decree apostille service helps Nashville clients obtain a properly certified decree and prepare it for apostille or legalization, handled discreetly.
Decree, certificate, or certified record?
A divorce may be documented by a full court decree or by a shorter certificate from a vital records office. Receiving countries sometimes specify which one they accept.
The decree generally needs certification by the clerk of the court that granted it. Uncertified copies are commonly refused.
