Please could someone translate this please,

Partida literal del anterior matrimonio.

This is one of the forms my local town hall has asked for , as I plan to get married soon.
thank you

have you been married previously?

they want a copy of a previous marriage certificate

Literal departure from the previous marriage.

Looks like they need your divorce paperwork ?

partida literal doesn't mean 'literal departure' - but they would for sure want those too

I bow to your knowledge, but I thought it was a posh way of saying roughly (when the last marraige literally split or broke up?)

having thought a little more 'partido' could be translated as departure - it's the past participle of partir - so if there's a typo from the OP we're both right

'partida' can be certificate


this is one of the problems with translating sometimes - a literal translation doesn't get you anywhere, so you have to use a bit of imagination - unless you know all the technical terms for everything

thank you all for your help,

Hi wilki,

They want your "decree absolute", so I would suggest you take it, AND a copy for validation, to the appropriate authority.

this is what they have asked for, as above, and also

Testimonio de la sentencia de divorcio,

thanks again.

Hi again wilki,

This is a request for the paperwork on the divorce judgement.

Alimony, children, property etc.

Hope this helps.

ah well - seems they do want both then

I hope its 3rd time lucky

omg!!

CONGRATULATIONS

You`re a glutton for punishment, but on the other hand.......

Glutton for punishment huh???
