Divorce certificate for EE
The Immigration office has asked for a copy of my husbands divorce certificate to go with our EE application, after 26 years and many house moves later we don’t seem to have it. He’s asked his ex wife if she has her copy but still waiting on a reply. If she doesn’t and the time to get a copy being 29 days and the time Immigration has given us is 7 days would a letter of explanation be enough? Thanks as always for any help.

Re: Divorce certificate for EE
It's usually requested for EE if you have put down marital status as 'divorced' according to this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...ess-check.html
If he still needs it he can apply to the Registrar in the UK for a copy, if he has the case number it will cost £10 or £45 if he can't remember the case number but has the year and which court processed it - or £65 if he knows the year but not the court https://www.gov.uk/copy-decree-absolute-final-order.
