Single Status Apostille

February 9, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Do you need to apostille a Single Status?

Are you planning to get married in another country and have been told to apostille a document that states you are currently not married?

At USA Apostille, Inc., we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on your single status affidavit.  We can apostille single status affidavits issued from all 50 States (County Clerk offices), the District of Columbia (Washington DC), and US Embassy and Consulate offices throughout the world.

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 Single Status.

This document may also be referred to as:

  • No Record of Marriage
  • Certificate of Freedom to Marry
  • Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage
  • Certificate of No Record – Marriage
  • Affidavit of Single Status
  • Affidavit of Marriageability
  • Certificate of No Public Record

Here is an example of a 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 “Certificate of No Public Record” instead of a “single status”.  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’s office is unable to assist you and you are in the United States, you can use the sample above to write your own single status affidavit.  Basically, you are writing a sworn statement 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 single status 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 single status and also having it signed and notarized.  The US Embassy or Consulate office should have a same.

Here is an example of  US Embassy or US Consulate Single Status Affidavit:

Obtaining an apostilles 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!

Apostille Expiration – Does an Apostille Expire?

January 7, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Common questions we receive are, “Does an apostille expire?”  “How long is an apostille valid for?”

An apostille does not have an expiration date.

Countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention may request your documents (Example: Birth, Marriage, power of attorney, Divorce Decree, Death, etc..) to be recently issued with an apostille. For example, most countries request an FBI apostille be issued within the past 90 days. Some countries may have even more stringent requirements and may request a background check issued within the past 30 days with an apostille.

However, you may find that some countries request that apostille is no more than 3, 6, or 12 months old.

Please double check with the country requesting your documents in order to find out how old your documents can be before you mail them in for processing. For example, if you need a California apostille on a California birth certificate, we recommend that you ask how old the birth certificate can be and how recent the apostille should be issued. If the answer is 30 days for both, then the birth and the apostille must be issued within the past 30 days.

From our experience, State and Federal (FBI) background checks have the most restrictions.

Also, some States have restrictions on how old the document can be.  For example, documents issued from the States of Wisconsin and Virginia must be issued within the past 12 months. Most documents from Texas and Illinois must be within the past seven years. We recommend that you contact us so we can discuss your documents.

Here is typically what’s included in a Apostille:

Country … [country name] This public document
has been signed by … [name]
acting in the capacity of … [function]
bears the seal/stamp of … [authority] certified
at … [location]
the … [date]
by … [name]
No … [apostille registration number]
Seal/stamp … [of the authority giving the apostille]
Signature … [signature of authority giving the apostille]
You can see examples of US State apostilles.

Obtaining an apostilles 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!
