Divorce Decree Apostille in Orange, California
A divorce decree apostille authenticates your California court judgment of dissolution so another country will accept it — essential proof that you are legally free to remarry or update your status abroad. If you live or work in Orange, Orange County Apostille makes it simple to get your divorce decree apostilled and ready for use overseas.
What we authenticate
A divorce decree apostille authenticates your California court judgment of dissolution so another country will accept it — essential proof that you are legally free to remarry or update your status abroad. The certified copy is normally issued by the Superior Court of California clerk in the county where the divorce was finalized. A divorce decree is a court record, so it must be a certified copy issued and signed by the Superior Court clerk (and, in many counties, certified by the court executive officer) before it can be apostilled by the California Secretary of State.
Common reasons Orange residents apostille a divorce decree
- Remarriage in another country

- Immigration and residency petitions

We frequently prepare divorce decree apostilles for documents bound for Mexico, the Philippines, India, Italy, Egypt, and Lebanon, among many other countries.
