A copy of the order that granted you the annulment would be kept in the court file. You would need to go down to the court house where the matter was filed. Bring with you the Index or Docket number of the matter. If you do not know it then you can probably look it up at the clerk's office in the court by giving them your last name. Bring identification as some files are sealed (matrimonials are in certain states) and only the parties or their attorneys have access.  Good luck.
