What is a Certificate of No Marriage and when do I need it translated?+
It is an official record confirming a person has no registered marriage – called a CENOMAR in the Philippines, a certificado de soltería in Latin America, or a single-status certificate elsewhere. You need a certified translation whenever you marry abroad, register a marriage with a consulate, or file a K-1 fiancé petition.
How much does certified single-status translation cost?+
$29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A certificate of no marriage almost always fits on one page. No surcharges for rarer languages, a printed hard copy by mail is available.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours, and most single-page certificates are delivered the same business day. For a wedding or visa-interview deadline, contact us about expedited and same-day service.
These certificates have a validity period – will translation delay me?+
No. Registrars usually treat a single-status certificate as valid for three to six months from issue, so translation turnaround matters. Our 24-hour standard (or same-day expedited) service keeps your certificate well inside its validity window.
Do I need an apostille as well as a translation?+
Often, yes. To marry or register status abroad in a Hague Convention country, the certificate itself usually needs an apostille in the issuing country, and the translation may need to be notarised. Notarization is $19.95 per order and apostille on the translation is $149.95 per document, both available at checkout.
Can you translate a single-status affidavit instead of a certificate?+
Yes. Some countries (for example India) issue a sworn single-status affidavit before a notary or magistrate rather than a registry certificate. We translate the full affidavit, including the jurat and notarial seal.
Can you translate from English for use abroad?+
Yes. We translate US single-status affidavits and no-record letters from English into the target language your foreign registrar requires, with the same certified accuracy statement.
Simplified example, for illustrative purposes only. Your actual translation is individually tailored to your document, with full detail and certification.
