Single Status Certificate

An Unmarried Certificate, also known as a Single Status Certificate or Bachelorhood Certificate, is an official document proving that an individual has never been married. Many foreign countries, embassies, and visa authorities require it as proof before granting marriage, spouse visas, or immigration. 


At Pandey & Associates, we help individuals in Mumbai obtain their Single Status Certificates legally, with speed and accuracy. 

What Is a Single Status / Unmarried Certificate?

This certificate is a legal affidavit or document confirming that:

  • The applicant is not currently married under Indian law 
  • The applicant has never been legally married (in case of bachelorhood) 
  • The applicant is free to marry abroad 
  • It is usually issued by one of the following authorities: 
  • Notary Public 
  • Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or District Magistrate (DM) 
  • Indian Embassy (for those living abroad or for use overseas)

  • Planning to marry abroad (many countries require proof of single status)
