If you are applying to register a corollary order made under the Divorce Act, you will need to file:
- A letter to the court requesting that your divorce order be registered under section 20(3) of the Divorce Act
- At least one (preferably three) certified copy/ies of the order being registered
- A certified copy is one that comes directly from the court where it was issued; has their official stamp on it, and is signed by a court officer at that court to show that is is an official copy from their files.
- If you do not have any certified copies, you will have to contact the court where the order was issued to request that they be sent to you. They may charge you a fee for this.
- If your Order is in a language other than English, you will also have to provide a certified translation of the Order. You will have to contact a certified translator, and there may be a fee for this service. This is not a service that the court will provide.
