There are religious annulments and civil annulments. The Catholic church doesn't allow people who have been divorced to remarry, so that's why they require an annulment - they're fairly difficult to get (or at least used to be).
A civil annulment basically does the same thing - it makes the marriage as if it never existed. But its from a legal standpoint.
When you get a church annulment, I'm pretty sure that you need to still fill out the paperwork to get the civil one.
