Final orders, decrees absolute and divorce certificates translated into Danish in full, signed by a named professional translator and delivered by the next working day.
Divorce certificate translation into Danish is usually needed when a divorce has to be shown to a Danish body that works in Danish: a court, a lawyer, a bank or a municipality. VisaDocTranslation translates the full document, including court seals and case details, and a named professional translator signs it with their full name, contact details and qualifications, at £41.99 per page.
If you're planning to remarry in Denmark, you may not need a translation at all, because the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) works with documents in English. Check with whoever is asking before you order, and see our Danish certified translation overview for how the service works.
Denmark
Not accepted for
Usually not if it's in English. Familieretshuset accepts foreign documents in Danish, English or German, and asks for an authorised translation into one of those languages for documents in other languages. Confirm with Familieretshuset for your own case.
When either partner has been married before, Familieretshuset needs to see that the earlier marriage has ended before it approves a wedding in Denmark. A UK final order or decree absolute in English normally does that job as issued, and Familieretshuset notes that documents from Great Britain typically don't need an apostille for marriage cases.
Where a Danish translation tends to be needed is afterwards, when the divorce has practical consequences that Danish banks, lawyers or courts have to deal with.
Translate the final document. In England and Wales, divorces since April 2022 end with a final order, and earlier ones with a decree absolute. Scotland issues an extract decree of divorce, and Northern Ireland a decree absolute.
The interim step (a conditional order, or a decree nisi before 2022) shows the divorce was on its way, not that it arrived, so Danish bodies will normally want the final one. Court documents carry case numbers, court names and seals, and all of it is translated, along with any handwritten annotations.
If you can't find the final order, the court that handled the divorce can usually provide a copy. That takes longer than a translation does, so start there first.
Common uses include property and mortgage changes, pension and inheritance matters, returning to a previous surname, Danish court proceedings and municipal services that work in Danish. These are common uses, not a list of bodies that have approved our translations.
Danish courts conduct their business in Danish, so a UK divorce heading into a Danish case is a typical candidate for translation; your lawyer will tell you exactly which documents are needed and in what form. The same goes for a bank removing a former spouse from a mortgage, the kind of administrative tidying-up that somehow needs more paperwork than the wedding did.
A named professional translator signs it with their full name, contact details and qualifications. The translation covers the whole document, including the court's seal, case number and the parties' names exactly as recorded.
Divorce papers are personal, and we handle them confidentially. Every part of the document is translated and checked against the original before delivery, and we work to the ISO 17100 standard. If the document will sit beside a marriage certificate or passport and ID documents in the same file, order them together so names and dates line up.
£41.99 per page, charged in pounds sterling and delivered by the next working day. There is no rush option, because a named translator reviews and signs every translation.
A final order or decree absolute is usually a single page; Scottish extracts and documents with endorsements can run longer. The price includes the translation, the translator's signature, a quality check and 2 free revisions. Upload the document on the online quote form, choose Denmark and you'll see the total before paying.
Remarrying in the UK instead, with a foreign divorce? Our guide to divorce decree translation for UK remarriage covers that route.
Familieretshuset accepts foreign documents in Danish, English or German, so a UK divorce document in English usually needs no translation for a marriage in Denmark. Confirm with Familieretshuset for your case.
They do the same job. In England and Wales, divorces since April 2022 end with a final order; earlier divorces ended with a decree absolute. Either one confirms the marriage has legally ended.
Yes, if a Danish body asks for it. Most want the final document, though, because the interim order doesn't show that the marriage has ended.
Only if the receiving body asks for one. We don't issue apostilles, so check first and arrange it before ordering, then send the document with the apostille so both are translated.
Courts and lawyers set their own requirements, so confirm with them before ordering. Our translations are complete and signed by a named professional translator with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
