💔➡️💍 How to Translate Foreign Divorce Papers for Remarriage
If you were previously married and divorced abroad and now wish to remarry—especially in the U.S.—you’ll likely need to translate your foreign divorce papers. Whether for marriage registration, immigration filing, or legal recognition, the translation must be complete, accurate, and certified.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to get your foreign divorce decree properly translated, how to choose a provider for IRS document certified translation, vaccination record translation, and when to use an insurance document translator—all in one smooth process.
💡 Why Divorce Paper Translation Is Required for Remarriage
Whether you’re planning to remarry through:
- A U.S. courthouse
- A virtual marriage platform like Utah
- A destination wedding with legal recognition
…you’ll be asked to prove that your prior marriage legally ended. If your divorce decree is in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, or any non-English language, you’ll need to provide a certified English translation.
🔍 This is not optional—courts and counties will not proceed without it.
📜 What a Proper Divorce Decree Translation Includes
Your translated divorce papers must be:
- Word-for-word translations of the original text
- Include all stamps, signatures, seals, case numbers, and handwritten notes
- Delivered with a certified translator’s declaration that includes:
- Translator’s full name
- Language fluency
- Statement of accuracy
- Signature and date
💬 We’ve translated thousands of divorce records for clients remarrying across the U.S., and every one of them was accepted.
🔁 Translating Other Documents for Remarriage & Immigration
Often, couples getting remarried also need to translate supporting documents. Here are three we frequently handle alongside divorce decrees:
📄 IRS Document Certified Translation
If you’re applying for a green card or sponsoring a spouse, you may need to submit tax records to USCIS. If any of your IRS forms or equivalent foreign tax documents are in another language, they must be certified translations.
These include:
- Income verification letters
- Tax return summaries
- Foreign tax ID certifications
We ensure every entry is clear, cleanly formatted, and USCIS-acceptable.
💉 Vaccination Record Translation
Planning a visa medical exam or adjustment of status? You’ll need your vaccination records translated into English.
We frequently translate:
- WHO Yellow Cards
- Country-specific immunization records
- Handwritten or stamped entries
Our team knows how to interpret formats from Mexico, Brazil, Philippines, India, and more.
🛡️ Insurance Document Translator Services
Some counties and embassies may require proof of insurance—especially for long-term stays, travel, or marriage documentation.
We translate:
- Health insurance cards and policies
- Life or family coverage terms
- Proof of coverage letters from foreign insurers
🧠 Remember: all these documents must be certified, not just translated.
