If you are applying to register a corollary order made under the Divorce Act, you will need to file:

1. A letter to the court requesting that your divorce order be registered under section 20(3) of the Divorce Act

   • For a sample letter that you can use, click here  or here .

   • If you do not use this letter, you may also have to file a completed Statement of Contact Information and Circumstances in Form FD1  Form FD1 , because the court will need an address for you and for the other person
      

2.     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.
      

3.     Completed Personal Representation Form  Form  if you do not have a lawyer at this time

Once your order is registered, certified copies of it will be mailed out to you, and to the other person.
