Which document the receiving authority wants

For many U.S. immigration filings, the annotated marriage certificate is the operative proof of divorce rather than a separate decree. We deliver the document described by the applicable source; how it fits your filing strategy remains with U.S. counsel.

Older records

Records predating registry digitization may require an in-person search at the registry or court. We confirm the expected scope and cost of that search before starting.
