Do you need to show your divorce to an office, but the paper is not in English? A notarised divorce decree translation gives that office a version it can read. A skilled translator writes it in English. Then a Notary Public registered with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) signs and seals the translation.
A divorce paper is often long and full of court words. It may say who looks after the children, who keeps the home and the day the marriage legally ended. We do not shorten it or leave parts out. We translate it as it is written, in correct and simple English.
We work in more than 200 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, French, German and Bahasa Indonesia. Most decrees are done in 2 to 3 working days, and short ones can be done in 24 hours with express. Long court files may take a little longer, and we tell you the date first.
Your soft copy arrives by email. The hard copy comes by courier in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. Ask us for a free quote before you pay anything.

Divorce Decree Translation Quote
A divorce does not end the paperwork. You may need to prove it when you marry again, move house or apply for a pass. Here is when people usually ask us for a divorce paper translated and notarised.
If you were married before, the registry needs proof that the last marriage has ended. Tip: bring the final divorce paper, not an early or interim one.
Worth checking
ICA asks about your marital status, so a past divorce may need to be shown. Tip: if the decree names children, ICA may also want to see the custody part.
Worth checking
When a parent applies for a child's pass, the office may want to know who has custody. Tip: the custody page of the decree is the key page to get right.
Worth checking
Some people must change their records from married to divorced, for example after a divorce abroad. Tip: ask the office which paper it accepts as final proof.
Worth checking
Lawyers may use a foreign decree in a Singapore case about money, property or children. Tip: ask your lawyer if the court wants the whole decree or only some pages.
Worth checking
A Singapore Final Judgment may be needed abroad, for example to marry again there. Tip: the other country may want it in its own language, plus an apostille.

Ask About My Divorce PaperNo two countries write a divorce the same way. Some give a court judgment. Some give a short registry card. Some just add a note to the old marriage record. Here are common types we turn into a notary public translation of a divorce decree.
A registry divorce gives a 离婚证 booklet, and a court divorce gives a written judgment; we translate whichever you have.
Many Japanese divorces are filed at the city office; this paper, or the koseki, shows the date.
Muslim divorces come from the Religious Court; we keep the court name and case number exact.
Issued in Malay by a Syariah office; we translate the type of divorce and every date.
Vietnamese courts give a decision or judgment; we translate the custody and property parts in full.
France often writes the divorce in the margin of the marriage record; we translate the record and the note.
German divorce rulings carry a note that shows they are final; we always translate that note.
A short registry paper; we keep the record number and the office stamp as shown.
The Thai divorce certificate from the district office; we translate both people's details and ID numbers.
A divorce decree holds facts that can change your life, so offices read it closely and so do we. Parents who need a child's pass often send us decrees, and our page on notarised translations for MOM passes covers that side. In each notarised translation of a divorce decree, these parts get double checks.
Both names match the passports, with a note if the decree spells them another way.
We show clearly the day the divorce took full effect, since offices look for this first.
Every letter and number in the case number is copied exactly.
Who looks after the children, and when the other parent sees them, is translated word for word.
Orders about the home, savings and support payments keep their exact meaning.
Each seal and signature is described in brackets, so nothing on the page is lost.
A notary confirms the translation, not the court's decision. Each office sets its own rules for divorce papers, so please check the latest checklist from ROM, ROMM, ICA or your lawyer.
From upload to delivery, a divorce decree translation with a notary seal takes four steps. If the decree will later be used overseas, read how notarised translations go through SAL.
Hire Notarized TranslatorUpload every page of your divorce paper, even pages that look like plain court reasons. If there is a separate paper that shows the divorce is final, send that too. Tell us who will read it, such as ROM, ICA or a lawyer. We keep your file private and only share it with the translator and the notary.
We count the pages and look at how long and hard the text is. Then we send a free quote and a clear date. A long court judgment can take a little longer than a short certificate, so we tell you upfront. Once you agree and pay by card, PayNow or PayLah, your translator begins.
A translator who knows legal words writes the English version. A second person checks names, case numbers, dates and every order about children or money. We ask you to confirm how the names are spelled. Then a SAL-registered Notary Public signs and seals the translation. Most decrees are ready in 2 to 3 working days.
We email you a PDF of the full notarised set first. Then the sealed hard copy goes out by courier in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. If ROM, ICA or any other office asks for a change to our translation, we correct it for free and send you a new set.
Get Your Divorce Decree Translated
Divorce papers reach us in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesia, Vietnamese, Thai, French, German, Russian and many more. In all, we cover over 200 languages. Each notarized divorce paper translation goes to a translator who knows that country's family law words.
Legal words do not always have a match in English. A French divorce judgment and a Chinese court mediation paper work in different ways. As notarized translation experts in Singapore, we choose English words that keep the real legal meaning, not just the look of the words.
