How do you get a copy of divorce degree from Germany

[maryq]

A friend of mine is trying to get a copy of his divorce degree that was
filed in Germany. He is a US citizen and has been living in the US. His
ex wife is a German National who moved back to Germany years ago.
He needs the divorce degree because he is planning on getting married
in the US
He doesn't have an original copy, it was lost in moving.
Thank you for your help!

I would suggest he contact the court that issued the decree

Thank you for your prompt reply.

What about the EX? She might more easily get that as well.

He has no idea where the ex is now. He is not sure which court it was filed in (he will have to call both of them to find that info) since he filed for divorce while he was in the US.
