For remarriage abroad, foreign registration of divorce, and name restoration. $190 per document, 5 business days. Serving Hollywood with mobile pickup and our nearby Wilton Manors office.
Hollywood sits squarely in our service area — our team is in the city regularly for pickups, and divorce decree requests are among the most common reasons why. 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 Hollywood 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.
Hollywood is home to roughly 153,000 residents. Hollywood's large Cuban, Colombian, and Romanian communities keep a constant flow of documents moving between South Florida and consulates abroad — birth certificates for citizenship claims, powers of attorney for property overseas, and marriage records for foreign spouses.
We serve clients throughout Hollywood's neighborhoods including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, Hollywood Lakes, and Downtown Hollywood, as well as nearby communities such as Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pembroke Pines, and West Park. Landmarks like the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, ArtsPark at Young Circle, and Memorial Regional Hospital put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Hollywood, our Wilton Manors office is about 20 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 Pembroke Pines, and Hallandale Beach.
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 20 minutes from Hollywood — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.
