For Indians living abroad, especially those planning to get married overseas, a Single Status Certificate (also known as a Bachelorhood Certificate) is a critical document. It legally confirms that an individual is not married and is eligible to enter into a marriage under the laws of the foreign country.
At India for NRI, we frequently assist Indians across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, UAE, and more, in obtaining this document without them needing to travel back to India. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about the process:
1. Do I Need to Be Present in India to Get the Bachelorhood Certificate?
No. You do not need to visit India physically for obtaining this certificate. All documentation can be handled remotely.
You will only be required to sign the necessary affidavits or declarations, and the rest will be managed by our team.
2. Do You Help with Notarisation and SDM/MEA Attestation?
Yes.
India for NRI provides complete assistance for:
· Notarisation of the affidavit
· SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) Attestation
· MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) Apostille or embassy attestation, depending on the destination country.
This makes the certificate legally valid for use in any foreign jurisdiction.
3. Can the SDM of My State Attest the Document?
Yes, attestation can be done either:
· From the SDM office in your home state, or
· From a central SDM authority where apostille services are processed (often Delhi).
Both formats are acceptable internationally, and we guide you based on your specific case and destination country's requirements.
4. Will You Courier the Attested Documents to Me Internationally?
Absolutely.
Once your document is notarized and apostilled, we:
· Share a scanned copy with you for verification
· Arrange for international courier delivery to your current location, wherever you are in the world
Our delivery is fast, trackable, and reliable.
