Divorce decree apostille for the next chapter abroad.
Remarrying overseas, updating foreign civil registries, or filing immigration paperwork usually requires your Texas divorce decree with the state seal. The right certified copy makes it smooth.
It comes from the district clerk, not your filing cabinet.
The document the state apostilles is a certified copy of the final divorce decree issued by the district clerk of the county where the divorce was granted. The copy your attorney handed you years ago, or a scan, will not qualify — but a fresh certified copy is usually a quick order, and we point you to the correct clerk as part of the quote.
The typical reasons on our desk: remarriage abroad (foreign registrars almost always require proof the earlier marriage ended), spousal visa updates, and property or pension matters in another country. Often paired with a birth or marriage certificate in the same order.
Divorced in one county, living in another?
Common. Tell us the county of the divorce and we will point you to the right district clerk, then handle everything after.

Good to know
- Some countries want only the final decree page set; others want the full file-stamped judgment. Ask your receiving registrar, then order accordingly.
- Name-restoration language in the decree often matters abroad — if your name changed back, the decree documents it.
- Certified translations after the apostille are quoted in the same order when the destination requires them.
