Notes

Copies of Decrees Absolute - These are filed by Case Number and we cannot search the registers ourselves. If you know the Case Number you may receive a copy earlier than if you do not. If you do not know the Case Number (& even if you know the date of Divorce and both parties names) 14-28 day service. The government department responsible are at present not committing to a time period for production of documents. We only supply copies issued by official government sources.
