Hi there can any one let me know if it is ok to use offical copy from court with stamp as i do not have the original decree nisi

many thanks paul

I just used a letter from the court (with an official stamp) confirming when the decree absolute was issued because I'd lost the original, it was over fifteen years ago but I don't see why the rules should change.

It's fine to use the sealed copy (with the County Court/Principal Registry stamp) but make sure it's the Decree Absolute, not the Decree Nisi. Otherwise you're still married...

If you want it for an affirmation of freedom to marry, then I am fairly certain that a decree nisi is not sufficient; you need to have received your decree absolute; although the guidance just says 'divorce certificate(s).'

Edit: Paully beat me to it.

Yes you are correct.

A decree Nisi is only the interim Divorce Certificate which is made Absolute automatically after six weeks,unless just

cause be submitted to the court as to a reason for the Divorce not to be made Absolute.

Without the Absolute decree there would be some doubt as to the Divorce having been finalised or not.
