AnswerIn accordance with Item 5, Article "f" of Vienna Convention about Consular Relations from April 24, 1963 (began action since March 19, 1967), consulates can register civil status. In other words, consulates can issue divorce certificates. You can go to Consulate of Russian Federation in your country, give them the court decision, fill out the application, and then get you Divorce Certificate.
