Divorce Certificate??

[amber_eddy 1]

Hi everyone, I am in the process of gathering paperwork for the K-1 and as you know, one of the documents we need to submit is a divorce decree for my fiance in Spain.

I'm not sure if what we have is the correct paper... I thought it would look more like a "certificate" of some type, but what we have is a photocopied and notorized piece of paper from the "Registro Civil" (basically a big book in the court where everyone's marriages/divorces/etc. are filed). It has the details of the marriage on the right, and then on a small column on the left it has a little paragraph certifying the divorce, with the date and signature of the judge I'm guessing (but no signatures of my fiance or his ex, no details, pretty much just a sentence saying the divorce happened).

Umm... is this what a divorce decree is supposed to look like? I know it may be different in all countries (as I said, this is Spain) but I feel that this doesn't look official enough and wondering if there is something more we need to get. My fiance says this is what they use in Spain, the Registro Civil book, but I don't think it's enough.

Any advice?

I might be digressing but don't you need to get that translated? If you do and the translator puts in the divorce information, then it doesn't matter how little the divorce stamp is. The officer will look at the translation.

Yes of course, I will eventually translate it, but first I just want to make sure I have the correct original paper
