What is a Singleness Affidavit?
A Singleness Affidavit, also called a Bachelorhood Certificate or Single Status Certificate, is a legal document that confirms you are unmarried and legally eligible to marry. This affidavit is commonly requested by foreign marriage authorities, embassies, or immigration departments to prevent legal conflicts, bigamy, or fraudulent marriages.
Why Apostille is Required for Singleness Affidavit?
An apostille is a form of international authentication that proves your document is genuine. Countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961 require apostilled documents instead of embassy legalization. Without the apostille, your singleness affidavit will not be recognized for marriage registration or immigration processes in these countries.
