More Details This Service
Single Status Certificate is an official document issued by the competent authority confirming that an individual is unmarried or legally single at the time of issuance. This certificate is required to prove marital status for various legal, personal, and international purposes.
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), the Single Status Certificate is commonly needed for marriage registration abroad, spouse visa applications, immigration, legal formalities, and family sponsorships. The certificate serves as proof that the individual has not entered into any previous marital contract and is eligible to marry under the law.
The application process involves submission of personal identification documents, proof of residence, and affidavits to the relevant municipal or government authority. Once verified, the authority issues the Single Status Certificate officially confirming the individual’s unmarried status.
Our service provides end-to-end assistance for NRIs, including document preparation, affidavits, coordination with authorities, and attestation if required by Embassies, MOFA, or other international authorities. We ensure a smooth, timely, and legally compliant process, helping NRIs complete their personal or international marriage formalities without delays or complications.
