Key facts
A divorce decree issued abroad often needs to be translated by a sworn translator to be submitted to an administrative authority, a notary, or a court. I translate decisions from Swiss or foreign courts between French, English, and Arabic.
When is it necessary to translate a divorce decree?
A translation of a foreign divorce decree may be requested to update civil status records, remarry, settle an estate, sell real estate, or initiate another legal proceeding. The recipient authority will specify whether a certified translation is required.
Which court documents can I translate?
I translate decisions from Swiss or foreign courts, divorce decrees, hearing transcripts, subpoenas, and procedural documents. I take care to apply the precise legal terminology of the target language.
How to send me the judgment?
Send me the complete judgment via WhatsApp or email, specifying the target language, the destination country, and your desired deadline. I will send you a quote stating the fee and the delivery timeframe.
Are additional formalities required?
Depending on the country, formalities such as legalisation may be required. Check the requirements on the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs website and with the recipient institution.
