⚠️ However, this is not always the case. If the divorce was not recorded in the Civil Registry, you will need to obtain a certified copy of the divorce decree. This involves an additional cost.

    I can't find the one of divocio but I can find the one of marriage.

    • Notary Attorney Online –

      In his case, having married outside of PR but divorced in PR, without having the exact date of the divorce, it did not appear in the system. This can happen on exceptional occasions and is beyond our control as we rely on government agencies to find the information.
