Hi, it’s understandable that you’re worried, but don’t stress too much. Yes, the court will likely ask for proof of your previous divorce during your court marriage proceedings. Since you've lost your divorce certificate, you can apply for a certified copy from the Family Court where your divorce was granted. You don't need the case number—just provide your name, your ex-spouse's name, and the date or year of the divorce. It’s a straightforward process, and the court can help retrieve the records.

Such marriage, under the Special Marriage Act, is registered by the authority so authorised. Have you ascertained the extant procedure with the said authority? A missing document could always be made good through an affidavit.
