This info may or may not be of any use to you, but I worked as a Secretary in a Matrimonal department of a Solicitors office for 3.5 years and during that time, when we sent out the Decree Absolute papers (which is the final divorce certificate) we always told our clients to put it in a safe place as there are no "copies" and only the original can be used for the purpose of proof of divorce whenever that is necessary (for remarriage for example) So... maybe copies are not available.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES. I crawled all over the FRC site in my amateurish way and have gained the impression that divorce doesn't exist.They seem to give instructions on researching everything but! I will keep looking. Judith - Australia
