What Does "Certificate of Divorce" Mean? [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm reading Matthew 19:3-9, and in verse 7 Jesus mentions something called a "certificate of divorce", referencing to Deuteronomy 24:1-4. Could someone help shed some light on what this might have been and what it means in terms of Jesus' view on divorce?
