Divorce decree and certificate translation, done properly.

A foreign divorce decree or certificate is required when you remarry in Singapore, when ICA assesses your immigration status, and when you need to update civil records. It must be a complete certified English translation.

Quick answer: Bablio translates and certifies foreign divorce decrees, certificates of divorce and final-judgment documents for remarriage, ICA PR / LTVP applications, and civil-record updates. We format the translation for the receiving authority — certified, notarised and/or apostilled as required — and are careful with joint-custody and consent clauses. From S$68, mostly same or next working day.

About this service

Divorce documents come in many forms — a decree, a final judgment, a certificate of divorce, or a court order with custody and asset clauses. Each has to be translated in full, not summarised, because the receiving authority reads the fine print.

A common reason people come to us is a pending remarriage. ROM requires proof that a prior marriage was properly dissolved, and a foreign divorce decree not in English must be translated and certified before it can be relied on.

Divorce papers also come up in ICA applications where a previous marriage is relevant, and when you need to correct or update a civil record. Where the document will be used overseas we attach the required notarisation and SAL apostille.

Where a divorce decree translation is needed

  • Remarriage in Singapore (ROM / ROMM)
  • ICA PR, citizenship and LTVP applications
  • Updating Singapore civil records
  • Court proceedings and custody matters
  • Overseas use — notarisation plus SAL apostille

How it works

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate the whole divorce decree or just the summary?

We translate the whole document, including custody, maintenance and asset clauses and any annexed schedules. Receiving authorities read the fine print, so nothing is summarised.

Do I need my foreign divorce decree translated to remarry in Singapore?

Yes. ROM requires proof that a prior marriage was properly dissolved, and a foreign divorce decree not in English must be translated and certified before it can be used.

Is notarisation needed for a divorce translation?

It depends on the receiving authority. ICA PR and LTVP applications require notarisation, and use overseas generally needs notarisation plus an SAL apostille. We confirm the exact chain before you pay.

How is a multi-page judgment priced?

Longer documents are priced per page or per word and are quoted with a turnaround before work begins, so there are no surprises.
