About this procedure
Many Venezuelans get divorced, receive their final court ruling, and think that's the end of it. But there's a step almost nobody knows is missing: until the divorce marginal note is entered on your marriage record, the Registro Civil still has you as legally married. That means that if you're going to remarry, sell an asset, go through an immigration procedure or handle anything else where your marital status is checked, it'll show that you're married, and everything gets stuck. The marginal note is the official annotation in the margin of the record that states the divorce and updates your marital status for everyone. We make sure the final divorce ruling is recorded and the marginal note is entered on your marriage record at the right Registro Civil office, and we hand you the updated record. We close the step the court doesn't close, so that on paper you're finally what you already are in real life: divorced.
