Decree Nisi Apostille – UK Legalisation Service

We legalise UK Decree Nisi documents for use overseas, with solicitor certification where needed.

What is a Decree Nisi Apostille?

A Decree Nisi is a court order that indicates a marriage will be legally dissolved unless a valid objection is raised.

You may need an apostille for:

• Overseas divorce proceedings

• Immigration or remarriage abroad

• Updating foreign legal records

Why You Need an Apostille

Foreign legal systems require verified divorce documents before they can recognise them internationally.
