There is no such original decree. Certified copy of any decree/order is as good as original.

The original divorce decree would be retained by court alone.

The parties to the case can obtain court certified copies only.

You c an download the judgment from ecourts website if uploaded by the court concerned.,

Dear Client,

Yes a certified copy is only available the original is never given. The original copy is court record you still get the copy of the decree which is signed by judge only but it's certified copy.

A certified copy obtained from court is the original of a decree, for all purposes. Nothing else is required, legally.

- You can get the original decree of divorce from the Court , if it is granted by the court. 

- Further, if you have already received the original at the time of passing of decree and need more copes then you can apply for getting certified copy of the same from the said court.

No court will furnish the original decree. 

It will remain in court forever. 

If it is uploaded in the court website you can extract the same accordingly and submit instead of submitting the certified copy

Dear Client,

A statement should be obtained as to whether the copies are required.

It can be obtained only by applying under court rules and not RTI.

 

Thank You.

- when a decree of divorce is passed then the court is bound to issue Divorce decree dully signed by the Judge who has passed the decree 

- If you have not received the said decree of divorce from the Court , then you can enquire for the same with the help of the lawyer or any relative.

- Further, if you have already received the said decree from the Court , then the additional certified copy can be obtained.

In order to get the originals from the court, you will have to file an application for the same in the same court which had pronounce the divorce degree earlier along with proof to show that the authorities in Denmark are asking you for the original documents and not accepting certified copies of the court.
