Date confirmed for digital only divorce

 

An announcement from HMCTS today:

From 13th September 2021 HMCTS will be mandating the digital divorce process which means that legal representatives will need to process their divorce applications using the digital online service rather than using the paper D8 form.  The exceptions to this are below which should continue to be processed via the paper route:-

  • Civil Partnership
  • Judicial Separation
  • Nullity

We strongly encourage you to sign up to MyHMCTS in good time for  September by following these steps:

  • Check that your firm is not already signed up to MyHMCTS (firms with probate departments may already have accounts). If your firm is using MyHMCTS request username and password from your administrator.
  • If your firm has not signed up register for the service. Your firm needs to nominate an administrator to set the organisation up and manage the account.
  • To register, organisations must have an active fee account (also known as Payment by Account, or PBA). Registering for an account is easy and accounts are usually confirmed within three working days. If you have any questions about setting up an account, please email My************@*********ov.uk.
  • Once an account has been created, the administrator will be able to manage the account, add additional users and manage permissions

 

Help and support

Guidance on applying for a divorce on MyHMCTS is available online.  For further support please contact HM******************@*********ov.uk
