Single Status Certificate

An Unmarried Certificate, also called a Bachelorhood Certificate or Single Status Certificate, is an official document that confirms an individual has never been legally married. This certificate is often required for:

  • Marriage abroad (foreign countries require proof of single status)
  • Visa or immigration processing
  • Employment in foreign countries

At Court Marriage Mumbai, we help individuals in Mumbai apply for and obtain their unmarried certificate through the correct legal and government channels.
