What is divorce decree attestation?

Why a divorce decree needs attestation abroad

In India there is no separate "divorce certificate". The proof is the divorce decree, the final order of the family court, issued as a certified copy. Foreign registrars, immigration offices and courts ask for this decree, attested so they can rely on it.

Divorce decree attestation follows the personal-document chain: notary where required, state attestation, then the MEA apostille for Hague countries, or MEA attestation and embassy attestation for others. A translation may be needed if the decree is in Hindi or a regional language.

  1. Certified court copy
  2. Notary & state attestation
  3. MEA apostille or attestation
  4. Embassy (if required)
Divorce Decree Attestation process: Certified court copy → Notary & state attestation → MEA apostille or attestation → Embassy (if required)
