Do you need to apostille a no record of marriage?
At National Apostille, Inc., we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on your no record of marriage. We can apostille a no record of marriage issued from all 50 States and the District of Columbia (Washington DC).
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 a document called a no record of marriage. In some countries, you may also be required to provide this documentation for employment.
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
Affidavit of Single Status
Affidavit of Marriageability
Affidavit of Civil Status
Certificate of No Public Record
Eligibility to Marry
Here is an example of a no record of marriage (AKA: single status affidavit):
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 “single status” instead of a “no record of marriage”. 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.
If the County Clerk is unable to assist you and you are in the United States, you can use the sample above to write your own no record of marriage. Basically, you are writing a sworn statement (Affidavit) 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 requesting your no record of marriage if they will accept a 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 no record of marriage and also having it signed and notarized. 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!
