This e-service allows Rwandan citizens who have undergone the process of canceling their marriage to apply for a divorce record certificate. The application is either automatically processed and generated by the Civil Registration System or manually processed by local government authorities at the sector level.
If the divorce record is already registered in the Civil Registration System, the information about the divorce record is automatically fetched, and the applicant does not fill out any other details. Applicants receive their divorce records as soon as they pay. No executive secretary (ES) action is needed. The ES action is only needed when the divorce is not registered in the Civil Registration System. When the applicant enters their email while applying for this service, the certificate is sent to their email addresses without downloading it on the IremboGov platform.
The processing time is 1 working day; the service costs Rwf 1,500.
