In many cases it is acceptable to apostille a copy of your divorce certificate, rather than the original. To find out whether this is allowable in your situation, you will need to consult the person or organization to whom you are submitting your divorce certificate. They will be able to tell you if they will accept a copy instead of the original.

Additionally, if the certificate is destined for a non-apostille country, you should check with the diplomatic mission of the destination country. Not all embassies or consulates accept copies of documents (even if notarized).

If a copy is allowable, you will need to get a certified true copy of your certificate made by a Notary Public. Contact our friendly specialists for more information on the apostille of a certified true copy of a divorce certificate.
