For remarriage abroad, foreign registration of divorce, and name restoration. $190 per document, 5 business days. Serving Hallandale Beach with mobile pickup and our nearby Wilton Manors office.
In Hallandale Beach — home to about 41,000 residents — the need for a divorce decree apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. A Florida divorce doesn't automatically count abroad. To remarry in another country, register the divorce with a foreign civil registry, restore a maiden name on a foreign passport, or resolve property matters overseas, most countries require the Florida divorce decree — apostilled.
Divorce records live with the Clerk of Court in the county where the divorce was finalized. For Broward divorces, that's the Broward County Clerk of Courts, and only a certified copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage — with the clerk's certification — can be apostilled. We confirm your copy qualifies, file in person at the Florida Department of State, and return the apostilled decree in 5 business days. For Hallandale Beach residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
Foreign marriage registries require apostilled proof that a prior marriage legally ended before issuing a new marriage license.
Many countries require citizens to register a U.S. divorce at home — Italy, Spain, Colombia, and Brazil among them — starting from the apostilled decree.
Restoring a pre-marriage name on a foreign passport or national ID requires the apostilled decree showing the name provision.
Executing the property terms of a Florida divorce on assets abroad requires the apostilled judgment before foreign registries will retitle anything.
Visa and residency applications routinely require apostilled divorce decrees to document marital history.
Enforcing or registering custody terms internationally begins with the apostilled Final Judgment containing those provisions.
Hallandale Beach is home to roughly 41,000 residents. Hallandale Beach's large Russian-speaking and Eastern European community — plus a strong seasonal Canadian and South American presence — makes apostilles with certified translation one of our most common combined requests from the city.
We serve clients throughout Hallandale Beach's neighborhoods including Golden Isles, Three Islands, Atlantic Shores, and the Hallandale Beach Boulevard corridor, as well as nearby communities such as Hollywood, Aventura, Dania Beach, and Golden Beach. Landmarks like Gulfstream Park, the Big Easy Casino, and Hallandale's beachfront high-rises put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Hallandale Beach, our Wilton Manors office is about 25 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. Also serving divorce decree apostille clients in nearby Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Wilton Manors.
The document that gets apostilled is a certified copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage, issued by the Clerk of Court of the county where the divorce was granted — complete with the clerk's certification stamp and signature. Your attorney's conformed copy, the file-stamped copy you kept, and photocopies cannot be apostilled.
For long decrees, note that certification fees are per page and foreign registries often accept a certified copy of the judgment's key pages — but some (Italy notably) want the full judgment. Also useful: Florida offers a separate short Report of Divorce from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, which some countries accept in place of the full decree. We'll help you order the version your destination actually requires. When your divorce decree is ready, bring it to our office — about 25 minutes from Hallandale Beach — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.
