Single Status Affidavit

Single Status Affidavit

 $25 FREE

When getting married abroad, many countries require a single status certificate. This document certifies that you are not currently married and are eligible for marriage.


In the U.S., there is no government-issued certificate of single status. This is because each state operates independently, and no specific county or state can verify that you are not married elsewhere. To meet this requirement, most individuals use an affidavit of single status instead. This affidavit must be notarized and then apostilled by the Department of State.


Florida Translate offers a free affidavit form for use in the State of Florida. For your convenience, we also offer Remote Online Notarization (RON) services. This allows you to have your affidavit notarized quickly and efficiently from anywhere, without the need for in-person visits. Coupled with our apostille services, we can expedite the entire process, ensuring that all your documents are prepared and authenticated swiftly, giving you peace of mind as you plan your wedding abroad.

  • Can I use this outside of Florida?

    This affidavit was created to be used in the State of Florida. If you are from outside of Florida, please contact a notary near you to guide you through the affidavit. You may still print out this affivadit so that they can use it as a sample or reference. We are unable to assist with apostilles for out of state documents unless they are translations.  

  • What happens if I don't get an apostille?

    This depends on the country. However, a notarized document in the U.S. just legalizes the document within the United States and its territories only. By not completing the apostille process, the document would have no legal value abroad. As a result, the document will likely be rejected. 

  • Should the document be in English or the language used in the country?

    The actual text of the affidavit may be in either English or the language of the country you are planning on getting married. However, the notarial statement must remain in English.
