Apostille of a Singleness Certificate

A Singleness Certificate, often prepared as a Single Status Affidavit, is a sworn statement declaring an individual’s current marital status.

These documents are commonly requested for marriages abroad and other foreign legal or civil-status proceedings.

We review the notarization, issuing state, and destination requirements before processing to determine the appropriate authentication steps.

Apostille Requirements for a New York Single Status Affidavit

A privately prepared Single Status Affidavit generally follows the standard New York authentication process for notarized documents.

01

Completed Declaration

The affidavit should clearly identify the person making the declaration and state the marital status information required for its intended foreign use.

02

Proper Notarization

The declaration must be properly executed before a commissioned New York notary using the appropriate notarial act.

03

County Clerk Authentication

The notary’s signature must then be authenticated by the County Clerk where the notary is qualified before submission to the New York Department of State.

Important: A self-declared Single Status Affidavit is not necessarily the same as a government-issued Certificate of No Impediment or No-Marriage record. Confirm which document the receiving authority requires before processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Singleness Certificate Apostille FAQs

What is a Single Status Affidavit? +
A Single Status Affidavit is a sworn declaration in which an individual states their current marital status. It is commonly requested when preparing to marry or complete another civil-status procedure abroad.
Is a Single Status Affidavit the same as a Certificate of No Impediment? +
Not necessarily. A Single Status Affidavit is generally a declaration made by the individual, while a Certificate of No Impediment or similar no-marriage record may be issued by a government authority. The receiving authority should confirm which document it requires.
Does my affidavit need to be notarized? +
Yes. A privately prepared New York Single Status Affidavit generally must be properly notarized before it can proceed through County Clerk authentication and the state apostille process.
Can Global Apostille Group notarize my affidavit? +
New York notary service may be available for eligible documents. We can review the document and coordinate notarization before the authentication and apostille steps.
Does it need County Clerk authentication? +
For a notarized New York affidavit, the notary’s signature generally must be authenticated by the County Clerk where the notary is qualified before submission to the New York Department of State.
Can you prepare the affidavit for me? +
We can assist with administrative document preparation based on the information you provide. Because destination requirements vary, you should first confirm the wording or form required by the foreign authority receiving the document.
Can a Single Status Affidavit be used in any country? +
Not automatically. Some countries accept an apostilled sworn affidavit, while others require a government-issued marital-status record, translation, or additional legalization. Requirements should be confirmed with the receiving authority before processing.
