Translations of single status certificates required for marriage applications abroad.

A certificate of no impediment, also known as a single status certificate, is used to prove that a person is legally free to marry. Foreign registry offices usually require a sworn translation of this document for marriage applications.

Important aspects in translating a certificate of no impediment

  • Accurate translation of the person s name, surname and identity number
  • Correct rendering of the statement confirming that there is no legal obstacle to marriage
  • Preservation of the details of the issuing authority and date

Wording should follow the formal style expected by municipalities and civil registry offices in the destination country.
