Divorce and your home country

A divorce does not travel on its own. Here, country by country, is how to have a divorce granted there recognised in Switzerland, and how to have a Swiss divorce registered there.

Rules that apply everywhere

  • The judgment must be final: always ask for the certificate of finality.
  • Documents must be apostilled (or legalised) and translated.
  • In Switzerland, originals less than 6 months old are required and are not returned.
