Online Digital Divorce Decree issued by state courts

[Dwain 2]

My wife is preparing for an interview at the US Embassy Philippines. We want to ensure that we have all the proper documents. I was previously married therefore, I requested my divorce decree from the state court of New Jersey. The state of New Jersey issued digital online documents with seal and signature and also issue the order by the court authorizing digital signatures post Covid these documents look like copies.
 

My question is if anyone knows I’ve had the experience of submitting digital documents. Are these documents accepted by US embassies?

 

Thank you in advance

Yes Embassies understand these documents.  Specifically, my deceased friend's widow received a digitally signed Consular Report of Death Abroad from the US Embassy in Manila last week.

hello folks, by submitting do you mean uploading to NVC or bringing them to interview?

Does embassy want to see wet signitures on these original documents or is it okay to download digital copies(digital document has color signatures on them)?

If the official document is digitally signed, then you upload the actual PDF, then take a printout of it to the interview.  There are no wet signatures on digitally signed documents, but the face of the document indicates it was digitally signed and by whom.

Replying to myself to show example of Consulate Issued digital signature.

For anyone who has worked in the federal sphere — Adobe esignatures are the federal government’s preferred form of signature for doing business and most federally generated documents have one these days. Haven’t seen a wet signature on a federal document in over five years.

 

Now whether or not they’ll accept your electronic signature is agency-by-agency. The IRS in particular has weird rules on it.

 

But a consulate will definitely accept a government generated esignature on a government document  because like pushbrk showed — it’s what they use.

clarification: i received a certified electronic file (divorce decree) with electronic signature not a digital signature. 

 

Are electronic certified documents accepted by the US embassy

One in the same.  If that's how the State issues Certified copies, then it will be accepted.

 

An electronic signature is a broad category that includes digital signatures, while a digital signature is a specific type of electronic signature.
