Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Alabama Judgment of Divorce Apostille Process
Rules for Judgment of Divorce
Must Be an "Original Certified Copy"
You must submit the original certified copy issued by the Alabama Circuit Court Clerk from the county where the divorce was granted. A notarized photocopy, a simple copy, or a lawyer's copy will be rejected.
Proper Clerk Signature and Seal
The document must have the original signature of the Circuit Court Clerk (or Deputy Clerk) and the court's raised seal. A stamped seal or a signature from only a judge or lawyer is insufficient.
Document is Pristine
The certified copy must be complete, with no staple holes, tears, heavy creases, or any handwritten alterations or white-out.
Recent Certification
The date on the court clerk's certification should be recent. An old certification (e.g., several years) may be rejected. Obtain a new certified copy shortly before submitting your apostille request.
Correct Payment and Form
Include the $5.00 fee per apostille as a money order or cashier's check (no personal checks) and a completed Apostille Request Cover Sheet from the official website.
