There are only the following ways to divorce:
1. Both parties agree to go to the civil affairs bureau where one party's household registration is located to apply for divorce registration with the household registration book, ID card and marriage certificate.
2. If the two parties fail to negotiate, they can sue for divorce in the court of the defendant's domicile or habitual residence, so if they want to directly sue for divorce in other places, they need to issue a residence certificate to the neighborhood committee where the other party currently lives.
