1、 Can the household registration of children in a second marriage be traced back to previous divorces?
1. It can be seen that marriage requires obtaining a household registration, which usually records whether one has been married before.
2. The marriage certificate of the second marriage is the same as that of the first marriage, without any difference. And when it comes to getting married for the second time, the procedures are the same as those for getting married for the first time, without any difference. However, when getting married for the second time, it is necessary to bring a divorce certificate to prove whether one is single or not.
3. Although the second marriage will not be displayed on the marriage certificate, the marital status will be reflected in the household registration book. Usually, for the first marriage, the first marriage will be displayed, while for the second marriage, the household registration book will display the remarriage. It doesn't really matter, as long as the two of them are happy.
Article 5 of the Household Registration Regulations stipulates that household registration shall be conducted on a household basis. Those who live together with the person in charge shall be considered as one household, with the person in charge as the head of the household. A single person living in an independent household, with themselves as the head of the household. Individuals residing within government agencies, organizations, schools, enterprises, public institutions, and other units, as well as those living in public dormitories, may establish one household or separate households. The head of household is responsible for applying for household registration in accordance with the provisions of this regulation.
Article 6: Citizens shall register as permanent residents in their place of habitual residence, and a citizen can only register as a permanent resident in one place.
Article 7: Within one month after the birth of a baby, the head of the household, relatives, caregivers, or neighbors shall apply for birth registration to the household registration authority of the baby's permanent residence.
2、 How to transfer household registration for remarried households after divorce?

The local police station shall handle the relocation procedures in accordance with the provisions of household separation and establishment based on the court's judgment or mediation agreement;
（2） If one party is unwilling to hand over their original household registration book and persuasion by the public security police station is ineffective, they can handle the procedures for household separation or relocation according to the judgment or mediation agreement, and indicate the date and reason for household separation on the household registration book.
