Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage Apostille

Do you need an apostille on a Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage?

Note: This document is commonly referred to as a “Single Status Affidavit” in the United Sates.

If you are planning to get married in another country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will be asked to apostille this document.

This document may also be referred to as the following:

  • Single Status
  • No Record of Marriage
  • Certificate of Freedom to Marry
  • Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage
  • Affidavit of Single Status
  • Affidavit of Marriageability
  • Certificate of No Public Record

Here is an example of a single status affidavit you can write yourself.  You can also find some samples online but this is typically what’s required.

Before you write your own Single Status Affidavit and have it notarized, you should check with the local County Clerk’s office if they can provide you a document that states you are single.  A document from the local County Clerk is a more official document and less likely to be questions in the country requesting it.

The first step is to contact the local County Clerk’s office to request a document that states you are currently not married (AKA: Single Status).  Some County Clerk offices may refer to this document as a “no record of marriage” instead of a “single status” (See list above).  Most all County Clerk offices can provide you this document so please be sure to speak to a supervisor if you are told otherwise.  A document issued from the County Clerk’s office does not require notarization.

Note: If the County Clerk is unable to assist you and you are in the United States, contact the next closest County Clerk office.  If that fails, you can use the sample above to write your own single status affidavit.  Basically, you are writing a sworn statement stating that you are currently not married to another person in the United States.  Be sure to have this document signed and notarized before you mail it in to our office. You should also check with the people/country requesting your single status if they will accept a signed and notarized sworn affidavit directly from you.

If you are outside of the United States, the local US Embassy or US Consulate office should be able to assist you in completing a single status and also having it signed and notarized.  The US Embassy or US Consulate office should have a notary on staff.  This type of notary is a U.S. Federal notary public.  Because you will be visiting  U.S. Federal Government office, this document can then only be apostilled through our Washington DC apostille office.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

No Record of Marriage Apostille

No Record of Marriage ApostilleIf you are planning to get married in another country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you may be asked to provide a document called a No Record of Marriage Certificate.  The purpose of this document is to provide proof that you are currently not married to another person from the country you reside it.  If you have been previously married, you may also be required to provide proof that you are divorced (Certified divorce decree).  A Divorce Decree Apostille can be obtained from the Court and must be a certified copy.

Some countries may also refer to this document as:

Single Status Affidavit
Certificate of Freedom to Marry
Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage
Certificate of No Record – Marriage

You can obtain the No Record of Marriage Certificate from the local County Clerk’s office.  In some States, you may be able to obtain this document from the Court or State Registrar.  Please check with the County Clerk first.  You can also ask an attorney to prepare this document for you.  If you are outside the country, you can visit the local US Embassy or US Consulate office where the U.S. Federal notary will notarize an affidavit from you stating you are single.

If the country requesting your No Record of Marriage Certificate is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, then your documents may require further authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. and legalization through the Embassy or Consulate office. Our Staff in D.C. can handle your Department of State and legalization requests quickly.
