Divorce Decree Apostille Services by Apostil Inc.
Divorce decrees issued by U.S. courts require an apostille to be recognized in Hague Convention countries. Apostil Inc. specializes in divorce decree apostille services based on strict state requirements and thorough document verification. A divorce decree must be a certified copy issued by the Clerk of Court, usually within 6–12 months depending on the destination country’s rules. We verify the judge’s signature, clerk certification, and county seal before submission. Processing is done through the Secretary of State with timelines ranging from 1 to 10 business days depending on the state. For example, California averages 5–7 days, while New York expedited options deliver apostilles within 24–72 hours. Our team tracks state regulations to prevent delays and ensure compliance.
Same Day Apostille Divorce Decree Processing Options
In states allowing expedited handling, Apostil Inc. offers same day apostille divorce decree solutions for urgent international matters. This option is available only if the divorce decree meets technical criteria: recent court certification, correct clerk signature on record with the Secretary of State, and no missing annex pages. Same-day processing is possible in states like California, Texas, and Florida, subject to local office cut-off times, usually before 10 AM. Our team coordinates in-person submissions where permitted, cutting turnaround from days to hours. Same-day service is used for remarriage abroad, property division, or immigration. We confirm eligibility before payment to prevent delays and costs, ensuring compliance with U.S. apostille standards and foreign requirements.
Fast Divorce Decree Apostille With State Compliance
Speed without accuracy leads to rejection. Apostil Inc. focuses on fast divorce decree apostille processing while maintaining full compliance with state authentication rules. Each U.S. state operates independently under the Hague Convention, so procedures, fees, and signature databases differ. For example, Illinois requires county-level certification before state apostille, while Florida does not. Our specialists track these variations daily. Average expedited processing across most states is 2–4 business days, excluding shipping. We verify if the destination country accepts electronic apostilles or requires paper originals, affecting delivery format. This approach minimizes resubmissions and ensures the apostille is accepted on first presentation by foreign registries, courts, or consulates.
Additional Options
- - Same-day or 3-hour rush service (NYC only)
- - Certified translation into 50+ languages

How to Get Divorce Decree Apostille Correctly?
To get divorce decree apostille without delays, the document must follow a precise chain of authentication. Apostil Inc. starts with document review to confirm it is a certified court-issued decree, not a photocopy or attorney-certified version. We check issue dates, page numbering, and seal clarity, as blurred or scanned seals are a common rejection reason. Once validated, the decree is filed with the appropriate Secretary of State office. Apostille certificates issued include a unique reference number and official stamp recognized by all Hague Convention members. If the document is intended for non-Hague countries, we advise on legalization alternatives before processing. This prevents clients from ordering an apostille that would not be legally valid for their destination country.
