Single Status Certificate
Bachelorhood / Unmarried certificate for international marriage — apostilled & embassy-ready
Overview
Single Status Certificate (Bachelorhood Certificate)
A Single Status Certificate, also called a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI), Bachelorhood Certificate, or Unmarried Certificate, is a document confirming that an individual is currently single and legally free to marry. This certificate is required by the marriage registration authorities of most countries when an Indian citizen wishes to marry abroad.
Who Needs This Certificate
NRIs and Indian citizens planning to marry abroad: Every country that requires marriage registration — from the UAE and Qatar to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and European nations — requires proof that you are not already married. A Single Status Certificate serves this purpose.
Individuals entering into a foreign marriage under local laws: If you are marrying a foreign national in their home country, their local marriage registrar will require a Single Status Certificate from your country of citizenship.
Individuals converting their marriage from religious to civil abroad: Some countries require a Single Status Certificate when converting a religious marriage into a civil marriage or when registering a marriage that was performed elsewhere.
### The Two Paths — Which One Applies to You
Path 1 — Notarised Single Status Affidavit (for Hague countries): A sworn affidavit before a notary public declaring your single status. This is then apostilled by the MEA. Total time: 3-5 working days. Suitable for marriage in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, EU countries, and all other Hague Convention members.
Path 2 — Attested Single Status Certificate (for non-Hague countries): A notarised affidavit followed by state-level authentication, MEA attestation, and finally embassy attestation by your destination country's embassy. Total time: 10-20 working days. Required for marriage in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and other non-Hague countries.
