He told me that because they didn't go to the court personally, he'll have to pay to get a new ID in which her name will be logically erased and it will say divorced instead of married. Can you please tell me if this is valid? He has divorced her by saying "talaq" three times...

My boyfriend has been married before. He & his (now) ex-wife were married at home only in the presence of an Imam and 2 male witnesses. They later left for Europe, where they apparently had to marry again due to the foreign country's law. However they got divorced, according to him they have a legal divorce in that foreign country. The problem however is, that because they only had a wedding at home with an Imam and didn't go to court, they had their papers fixed (unfortunately) illegally, by paying for that to be done. Therefore his ID showed he is married and her name was written there. Although they are divorced in that foreign country and she has signed the papers as requested, he still hasn't changed his ID. Therefore it still says he is married and her name is written on that ID. He told me that because they didn't go to the court personally, he'll have to pay to get a new ID in which her name will be logically erased and it will say divorced instead of married. Can you please tell me if this is valid? He has divorced her by saying "talaq" three times, they have signed the divorce papers by procedure in the foreign country, but he still has his ID in which it says he's married. Because we have been talking about marriage, I want to be sure he is 100% divorced in every possible way. He is aware that I will not become his second wife (I am a Christian and will not convert to Islam after marrying him) and he also said he doesn't want to have 2 wives. How can I be sure that he is divorced? Thank you.
