A divorce certificate is required for registering a second marriage with the Civil Affairs Bureau. A divorce certificate is required for a second marriage. If both parties want to remarry after divorce, a divorce certificate is needed. The marriage registration authority will retrieve both parties' divorce certificates and issue a marriage certificate. For those who apply for remarriage registration, the parties shall fill out a declaration of marriage registration application, and the marriage registration authority shall handle it in accordance with the marriage registration procedures. If it is not the remarriage of the divorced parties, but the marriage between the divorced party and someone else, a divorce certificate is also required to prove the marital status.
Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that a divorce certificate is a legal document for both parties to legally terminate their marital relationship. Usually, the date of receiving the divorce certificate is the end of the marital relationship between the man and the woman. As far as the documents themselves are concerned, they do not have much effect, but if the parties need to remarry, change the name and transfer of joint property, or transfer household registration, they need to present their divorce certificate.
II
Cannot entrust others to handle divorce registration. Divorce registration requires confirmation of identity by both parties and cannot be entrusted to others. Divorce is a strict legal act related to identity, with a strong personal nature, and can only be carried out by the parties as husband and wife with full civil capacity. It is never allowed to entrust others to handle the divorce agreement.
