Document Requirements

What Makes a Divorce Decree Eligible

Every decree is reviewed against these requirements before it is filed.

Pennsylvania will only apostille a certified copy of the Divorce Decree issued by the Prothonotary or Clerk of the Orphans’ Court of the county where the divorce was granted, bearing the court’s raised seal and an original signature.

Signed by the Prothonotary or Clerk of the Orphans’ Court

The Commonwealth only apostilles a certified copy of the divorce decree issued by the Prothonotary — or the Clerk of the Orphans’ Court in counties where that office holds the record.

Raised seal and original signature

The certified copy must carry the court’s raised or embossed seal together with the original certifying signature. Flat-printed seals cannot be authenticated.

Photocopies and PDFs are not eligible

Downloaded PDFs, attorney file copies, scans and photocopies are rejected. Order a fresh certified copy from the county if you only hold a copy.

Recent issuance recommended

Many consulates ask for a certified copy issued within the last six months. If yours is older, request a new certified copy before filing.

Out-of-state decrees

Decrees granted outside Pennsylvania are certified by the issuing county or clerk and apostilled by that state’s Secretary of State. We coordinate all 50 states.

We do not retrieve decrees

Divorce decrees are requested directly from the court by a party to the case, so this service begins once your certified copy reaches us.

Mail It In or Drop It Off
