Where can I find a divorce?

Divorce certificates are generally inquired in the marriage registration department, because when both men and women register for divorce, the civil affairs bureau that issued the divorce agreement and other contents have been put on record, so the inquiry will also go to the civil affairs bureau that issued the divorce certificate. Just ask the local civil affairs bureau. Divorce certificates can't be inquired casually. Not everyone can go to the civil affairs bureau where the divorce registration is located to inquire about other people's divorce certificate information. Only the parties themselves or their interested parties can inquire about the divorce certificate information. The information about marriage and divorce belongs to personal privacy, and it can't be found online in China at present. In other words, the code of the divorce certificate and the authenticity of the divorce certificate can't be found online now.

What if the divorce papers are missing?

If a husband and wife agree to divorce, they need to submit a divorce agreement to the Civil Affairs Bureau in triplicate, that is, one copy is left in the Civil Affairs Bureau for the record. Please don't worry if the divorce agreement is lost. If the divorce agreement is lost, it can be reissued. You only need to take your divorce certificate and your valid ID card or household registration book, and apply to the marriage registration center for consulting the divorce file. After transferring your file, the staff can make a copy of the divorce agreement that they gave to the Civil Affairs Bureau when they went through the divorce registration according to their own application, and affix the official seal.

In addition, if you just lose a divorce agreement, it will not affect your remarriage registration. You can go straight to the normal procedure. But if you lose your divorce certificate, you need to apply to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a new one, and then go through the formalities of remarriage. What's more, if you lose the court's divorce judgment or conciliation statement, you need to go to the court to copy the original and affix the official seal before you can register for remarriage.

What if one party doesn't give me a divorce certificate when I get divorced?

If the divorce certificate of the party concerned is lost, it is not necessary for both parties to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to reissue it, but the party concerned can reissue it himself. To reissue a divorce certificate, it is generally necessary for the parties to bring their ID cards and household registration books to the marriage registration office so that the staff can check the divorce files. After reviewing the information, the staff will reissue the divorce certificate for the parties.
