A Divorce Decree Apostille refers to the process of obtaining an apostille authentication for a divorce decree or certificate of divorce. An apostille is a certification that verifies the authenticity of a public document issued in one country and makes it legally valid for use in another country that is a party to the Apostille Convention.
A Divorce Decree, also known as a Certificate of Divorce or Divorce Certificate, is an official document issued by a court or other authorized authority that confirms the dissolution of a marriage. It contains information about the parties involved, the date of the divorce, and any relevant provisions regarding child custody, alimony, or property division.

When a divorce occurs in one country, and the Divorce Decree needs to be used in another country that recognizes the Apostille Convention, obtaining an apostille can simplify the process of legalizing or validating the document.
The process of obtaining a Divorce Decree Apostille typically involves obtaining the Divorce Decree: Contact the court or authority that issued the Divorce Decree to obtain an official copy of the document. Follow their procedures and requirements to request a certified copy.
