When do you need a divorce certificate translation?
Remarrying in Australia
Before you can marry in Australia, you must provide proof that any previous marriage has been legally dissolved. The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) in every state requires a NAATI-certified English translation of your overseas divorce certificate as part of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) lodged with your celebrant.
Partner visa application
If you're applying for a partner visa (subclass 820/801 or 309/100) and either you or your sponsor has been previously married, the Department of Home Affairs requires a certified translation of the divorce certificate. This applies to both onshore and offshore partner visa applications.
Spouse visa sponsorship
If you're sponsoring your partner for a visa and you have a prior marriage, Home Affairs needs proof that marriage has ended. A NAATI-certified translation of your divorce decree or dissolution order is a mandatory part of the sponsor's evidence.
Family Court proceedings
If you're involved in family law matters in Australia - such as property settlements, parenting orders or child support - the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia may require a certified translation of your overseas divorce documents.
Updating your name or marital status
State and territory BDM offices, banks, the ATO, and other government agencies may require a translated divorce certificate when you need to update your records to reflect a change in marital status or revert to a previous name.
Citizenship application
The Department of Home Affairs may request a translated divorce certificate as part of your Australian citizenship application if your relationship history includes a previous marriage that ended overseas.
Move forward. Paperwork sorted.
What's translated
Names of both parties, date and place of the original marriage, date the divorce was granted, the issuing court or authority, case or file reference and any conditions attached to the dissolution.
