Does My Fiance Need Her Old Marriage Certificate?

[LnS 1]

My fiance was married before and still retains her ex's last name. I know I have to send her divorce decree, but will I need to send a copy of her marriage certificate to prove the name change?

Thanks for any help!

Yes she will need marriage certificate, and she will need it translated also

You are exactly right. If she changed her name on the basis of that previous marriage, then yes she will need the marriage certificate for which she changed her name. She should have it translated or she can do it herself if she is comfortable with the English language as well as Russian/Ukranian.

The answer depends on whether both her maiden name and married name appear in her divorce decree. If they do, then there's no need for the marriage certificate. If they don't then the marriage certificate is what ties the name on her birth certificate to her current name.

As usual, Pushbrk is clear and correct.

Hmm, I posted a reply but it's not showing up. Oh well, I figured I might have to get it but wasn't sure. My fiancee says she's afraid that the registry place in Kiev might not have it or something. She's a worrier like me! I said surely they do, but her statement still concerned me a bit! Anyways, I appreciate everyone's quick replies!
