Decree of divorce is the court order issued under the authority of the family law judge on the dissolution of marriage and related matters like division of marital assets and child custody ..etc.
Divorce certificate contains the same thing as the decree and usually contains the name of the spouses and the date on which their marriage got dissolved. A divorced person normally use the divorce certificate for various legal purposes as evidence of the divorce.
As such there is no waiting period to remarry for the divorce under mutual consent- but it is always better to wait for a period of 90 days after the date of decree of divorce.
