In case of divorce by agreement, when going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for divorce, it is impossible to apply for divorce without a registered permanent residence, because the divorce by agreement must bring the ID cards, marriage certificates, registered permanent residence and divorce agreement of both parties. If a divorce lawsuit is filed with the court, it is also possible to sue for divorce without a household registration. Generally speaking, the parties can sue for divorce as long as they bring the original divorce indictment, marriage certificate, ID card, and the child's household registration or birth certificate. If there is property that needs to be divided by the court, they can also bring the relevant evidence of property.
