Getting a single status certificate (Bangalore)

vincent_f84

hi everyone this is my first post at this forum and i need some help as i have a very pressing problem, my gf is chinese and i have already obtained a visa to go there,we plan to have a civil marriage in china itself. i have been required to produce a certificate of single status/ certificate of marriage ability, i have been running around bangalore for the past week trying to attain it. i presently had an affidavit written by a notary public but that could not be attested at the regional attestation office, in this case being vidhyan soudha. i am a christian and i was wondering whether anyone has had any experience with this situation i would appreciate very much any advice i can get on the matter. thanks in advance

Since you didnt have any luck with responses so far.. I would suggest that you go and get a letter from your pastor since you are a christian stating that you are a member of the church and that he knows you .. for however long and then that you are an unmarried bachelor and have him sign it.. You can get it notarized to make it even more official. Or try getting it attested at the regional atestation office you mentioned. I have gottten such eligibility certificate because I got married in a different state and not a different country.

One other thing is whoever required you to produce might have a template of the certificate.. which I think is best if completed by your pastor and then attested by a government official. Or go to chinese embassy where you got the visa and find out if you can get it attested by the consular officer even.

Good luck,

VJ

Thanks for the reply i already got the letter from the pastor and im getting it notarized too, the next step is the RAC...then i got to send it to the ministry of external affairs and the chinese embassy to get apostilles or whatever then it becomes wholly valid in china...thanks for taking the time to respond u have been a great help

Hi, I am planning to get married to Fijian in Fiji. I have been asked to provide Certificate of Single Status, in India as we dont have such a system. How could I get this One. I am an Hindu. I had taken a Notary from Civil Lawyer will this do OR I have to get it attested by Ministry of External Affairs. Kindly help me.

i believe that you can find out more about this by going to your local marriage registrar, since i am christian i had to get the certificate from the church, for you i would advise finding out whether the one your notary made is the proper one. next send it to the ministry for external affairs to get attested and then i believe that it would require further attestation from the fijian embassy and you could call them to find out. after all that is done then i believe the document is valid to use as a certificate of single status.

Hi Vincent,

have read your comments here.Can i ask you one doubt in single status certificate matter?.is'nt it acceptable, i mean affidavit with attorney.I'm a hindu guy and planing to marry a bulgarian girl.I also need this certificate.I got an information from district registering office that it is not possible to give such certificate.What am planing to do is get an affidavit from district notary then it get attested by state home ministry then apostilled from external affairs ministry.Will this procedure work or not? or do i need to attest the docs from notary with district registrar? please let me know your thoughts.If you have the format of this affidavit can you please send me?.

Thanks in advance,
Good 2 c u

well in my experience the procedure for me to get the certificate was different, the best way for u to find out how to get the certificate would either be for u to go to the state home ministry and ask them the procedure or goto the marriage registration office and they should be able to help you. I had also gotten an affidavit from a notary but i was informed that the rules had changed and therefore the procedures also. i strongly suggest you first enquire first at the marriage registration office, i am quite confident that they should be able to help you out. Some other adivce would be for u to give the certificate to an agent, i used UAE Xchange and they got the apostilles and attestation done very quickly. One more thing when u do get the right certificate you have to take it to get attested by a district notary hope that this helps you.

Hi Vincent

Thank you very much, your information is really helpful. But when i approached the registrar of marriage he could not even able to guide anything and i have proposed the way which you have written. can you please let me know the contact information of the UAE through which you have got it seal by ministry of external affairs, it would be great help, really would be very helpful. and also please tell me more information whom all i can contact, Thank you in advance and wish you a very happy married life.

Best Regards
