Divorce Decree Translation in California
California calls divorce a dissolution of marriage, and what ends it is a judgment entered by the family law division of the Superior Court. A certified copy comes from the clerk of the court where the case was filed, and the Secretary of State can apostille it for use abroad.
The judgment states the date on which marital status ends, which is often later than the date it was signed: California requires at least six months from service of the petition. Foreign authorities want that date, and the translation makes it unmistakable.

Iranian divorce documents
An Iranian divorce passes through several documents. The family court first rules on it - usually with a certificate that reconciliation is impossible; the divorce is then registered at a divorce registry office, which issues the divorce deed; and the divorce is noted in both spouses' shenasnameh.
For a spousal petition or a new marriage in California, the divorce deed is the core document and the annotated shenasnameh pages support it. Both are translated in full, with dates converted from the Iranian solar calendar.
