I want to get married at egyptian embassy

[Laura harper 0]

Ok so i have a divorce paper from 2011 and i went and got copies of it from the courts in California. And in egypt they would not accept my divorce paper because it doesnt have the words final divorce on it. It however states that both paries marriage is terminated and return back to single status which means the same. What can i do to my divorce papers for egypt to accept it?? Do i need to get the seals from state and washinton dc seal on it to make it more legal??

My husband and I married in a different North African country however we encountered the same issue with my divorce decree. After being told that the word “final” wasn’t on the document I spent time reviewing it word for word to find an alternative word/phrase that meant the same thing. We then went to a different certified translator and discussed it with them. They agreed that it meant the same and went ahead with the translation for us. My husband’s courts then accepted the document.
