The divorce certificate can be discarded during the second marriage, but it is best not to keep it. The divorce certificate can to some extent prove the validity of the divorce agreement. After remarriage or second marriage, the divorce certificate is still valid and should not be discarded. For example, when remarrying, a divorce certificate can prove one's single status; When the parties involved change the name and transfer of their joint property, as well as when transferring their household registration, they need to present a divorce certificate. A divorce certificate is a legal document issued by the marriage registration authority and the people's court to legally terminate the marital relationship between a man and a woman. If so, do not discard the divorce certificate after divorce or remarriage.

If the divorce certificate is lost and the parties get married again, they need to apply for a new divorce certificate. In the case of losing the divorce certificate, the parties can choose to go to the civil affairs bureau where the divorce registration was handled at that time to apply for a new divorce certificate or issue a marriage status certificate stamped with a special seal for file checking.
Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that the process for reissuing a divorce certificate is as follows:
1. To apply, the original ID card, original household registration book, and three recent 2-inch passport photos are required;
2. Acceptance, go to the marriage registration office hall of the civil affairs department where the household registration is located, and personally submit the above procedures in person;
3. Review: Check the household registration book, ID card, whether the ID card has expired, and whether the photo is the same as the person involved;
4. Registration: Both parties shall write a declaration, sign and fingerprint it, and register the personnel number;
5. Certificate issuance: After completing the registration procedures, the relevant registration procedures will be archived.

It depends on the local regulations of the marriage registration authority. When remarrying, registration procedures need to be completed, a marriage certificate needs to be obtained, and the divorce certificate needs to be returned to the issuing authority. However, some will only stamp the divorce certificate or present it at the time of divorce and will not retrieve it. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
