Obtaining proof of divorce depends on the circumstances that relate to your case:

• You may be able to obtain proof of divorce at no cost from the Commonwealth Courts Portal if you were a party to the proceedings and the divorce was finalised after 13 October 2010.
• If you are unable to obtain the proof of divorce via this method then an application can be lodged and the proof of divorce will be posted to you.
• If the divorce was granted in Western Australia then an application needs to be made to the Family Court of Western Australia.
• If the divorce was granted outside of Australia then contact needs to be made to the relevant court or authority in the country where the divorce was granted.
• If the divorce was granted prior to 1976 contact needs to be made to the Supreme Court in the state or territory where the divorce was granted.
