f you plan to remarry in a foreign country, a Divorce Certificate is often mandatory to prove the legal termination of your previous marriage. Here’s what you need to know:

Most countries (like the USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia, and EU nations) require:

✔ Attested divorce papers if the divorce was granted in another country.

Key Scenarios:

o Union Council (for Khula/Talaq)

o Family Court (for judicial divorces).

2. Attestation Process:

o Notary Public Pakistan → MOFA Pakistan → Destination Country’s Embassy (e.g., UAE/USA/UK Embassy in Pakistan).
