Hello, 

If you have the case number and the date on which the decree was passed, we may get the same for you. For certified you will have to give us a Vakalatnama and otherwise, I may try and get the non - certified copy. 

 

You may get in touch for further discussion.

- If you having details of your divorce case , then legally you can get the certified copy of the decree from the court. 

- Further , as you are not in India, then you can instruct your lawyer of that case for getting the same. 

- Further , having no contact of the lawyer , then you can give authority letter to your relative or nearest one to get the same from the court.
