Divorce Decree Apostille in Westminster, 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 Westminster, 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 Westminster residents apostille a divorce decree
- Remarriage in another country
- Updating marital status with foreign authorities
- Immigration and residency petitions
- Restoring a maiden or former name abroad
- Property and financial settlements overseas
We frequently prepare divorce decree apostilles for documents bound for Mexico, the Philippines, India, Italy, Egypt, and Lebanon, among many other countries.
