To apply for divorce, you need a copy of your original marriage certificate, and not the one that they gave you at the church but the one from births, deaths and marriages.  If you don’t have this you can just head to www.service.nsw.gov.au and apply for a copy to be sent to you.

If your marriage certificate is not in English (because you were married overseas), you must have it translated into English by an authorised translating service. The translator will prepare an affidavit which will need filed with your marriage certificate.

If you were born overseas, you will need your citizenship certificate or visa paperwork which shows you are living legally in Australia and have lived here continuously for a period of more than 12 months.

We will also take a copy of your driver’s licence.
