Marrying Abroad? You May Need to Prove You Are Single

Many countries will not let you marry without an official document proving you are free to do so. Getting it wrong can postpone a wedding.

What a single status declaration is

A single status declaration, sometimes called a declaration of no impediment to marriage, is a sworn statement that you are legally free to marry. Many foreign authorities require it before they will issue a marriage licence or register a marriage, often with notarization and an apostille.

Why precision matters

The exact form, wording and authentication required vary significantly from country to country. A declaration that is accepted in one country can be rejected in another for a missing element, the wrong authentication, or a format the local registrar will not take.

The timing pressure here is real: weddings are planned around fixed dates, venues and travel. A document rejected by a foreign registry at the last minute can postpone a wedding, with everything that entails. This is not the place for guesswork.

Prepared for the country you are marrying in

We prepare and notarize single status declarations, and arrange the apostille, in the form the destination country requires, so your wedding is not held up by a document.

在境外结婚的单身声明

许多国家不允许你结婚,除非有官方文件证明你有权结婚。弄错了,可能推迟一场婚礼。

什么是单身声明

单身声明,有时称“无婚姻障碍声明(declaration of no impediment to marriage)”,是你“在法律上有权结婚”的宣誓陈述。许多外国机构在签发结婚证或登记婚姻之前都会要求它,常须公证并办理海牙认证。

为什么精确很重要

所需的确切格式、措辞与认证,各国差异很大。一份在某国被接受的声明,可能因缺少某个要素、认证方式不对、或当地登记官不接受的格式,而在另一国被退回。

这里的时间压力是实打实的:婚礼围绕固定的日期、场地与行程安排。一份在最后一刻被外国登记机构退回的文件,可能推迟一场婚礼,连同它所牵动的一切。这不是可以靠猜的地方。

为你结婚所在的国家而备

我们起草并公证单身声明、并安排海牙认证,做成目的国要求的形式,让你的婚礼不被一份文件耽搁。
