Payment Options

Untie the Knot Divorce Service offers a variety of payment options. We not only accept payment by money order, Visa, Mastercard or American Express but also payment by PayPal and Interac Email Money Transfer.

If paying by Visa, MasterCard or American Express, we will require the security code, or CVV code. CVV stands for Credit Card Verification Value. The CVV is a 3 or 4 digit code embossed or imprinted on the signature panel on the reverse side of Visa, MasterCard and on the front of American Express cards. This code is used as an extra security measure to ensure that you have access and/or physical possession of the credit card itself.

If you wish to pay using the PayPal service, you must provide us with an email address. Upon review of your completed application, we will email you an invoice which you can then pay directly using PayPal.

If you wish to pay by Interac Email Money Transfer, we will contact you with further instructions upon review of your completed application.

Processing Times

It is impossible to provide you with an accurate time estimate to complete your request. Court Registries vary greatly in the time it takes to fulfill the request. If your divorce was granted more than a few years ago, the divorce file may need to be retrieved from the Court’s storage location. In most cases, you can expect to receive your Divorce Certificate or Divorce Judgment in approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
