Divorce by registry office, notary or court
Estonia has three routes to divorce. Under the Family Law Act, a vital statistics office or a notary can grant a divorce on the joint written petition of both spouses, for example where both live in Estonia and Estonian law applies. If the spouses disagree about the divorce or its terms, or neither office is competent, one spouse sues the other and a court grants it. A court may presume the marriage has broken down if the spouses have lived apart for at least two years.
The documents differ. A registry or notary divorce is recorded as an entry in the population register and proved by a divorce certificate or register extract. A court divorce is proved by the judgment, which also deals with custody, maintenance or property where the court decided them. Translate whichever the receiving office asks for, and both if you are unsure. See the Estonian marriage certificate page.
The date the marriage ended
The Family Law Act fixes when a marriage ends: on the date the court judgment enters into force, or on the date the divorce entry made by the vital statistics office enters into force. That date can differ from the date of the hearing or of the petition, and USCIS reads it to decide whether a later marriage was valid. We translate every date as printed so an officer can see which is which.
A spouse may have restored a premarital surname at divorce, and the later documents will show it. We follow the names exactly as written. For a US court, see court translations; USCIS does not require an apostille, and in Estonia apostilles are issued by notaries. We do not need the original; a photo or scan of every page of the judgment or certificate, with all its stamps, is enough. See our Estonian page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
We divorced at a notary's office.
Estonian notaries can grant a divorce by mutual agreement. The register certificate or extract proves it, and we translate it.
Which date on the judgment matters?
The marriage ends when the judgment enters into force. We translate all the dates so that is clear.
Do I need the judgment or the certificate?
It depends on the office. The certificate proves the divorce; the judgment gives its terms. If unsure, translate both.
