The Danish Authorities require the submission of a Certificate of Resolution of Divorce in order to be completely sure that the Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage was not been set aside by a higher court upon an appeal during the period for ordinary legal remedies. The judgment of Dissolution of Marriage or the Divorce Decree itself stating that it is final, is generally not good enough!

All Divorce Decrees that have been issued outside Europe must be originals and translated in English, German or Danish. The translation must be legalized from the Foreign Affairs Ministry of the country and the local Danish Embassy. For the German Divorce Decree it must state: “RECHTSKRÄFTIG”.

All documents must be either in German, English or Danish language.
