How to Obtain a Divorce Certificate in Ontario

Here’s a clear and simple guide to help you through the process.

Determine Where to Apply
Step 1: Determine where to apply. You can choose between two options:
• For the fastest and most convenient way, apply online through the ServiceOntario portal.
• Alternatively, if you need additional documents or prefer a more hands-on approach, visit the court office where the divorce was granted.

Step 2: Gather the necessary documentation and identification. You’ll need:
• Your case file number, found on the original divorce order.
• The full legal names of both parties as they appeared on the divorce documents.
• The exact date the divorce was finalized.
• A valid government-issued ID, like a driver’s license or passport, to verify your identity.

Step 3 - Complete the Application Process
Complete the application. For online applications, visit the ServiceOntario website and locate the divorce certificate section. If applying in person, head to the courthouse where your divorce was processed.
