Are you confused over how to file for the single status affidavit in India?
Alas, solemnizing marriage in the foreign country would be as simple as falling in love! It can be your story as well. The foreign land is not as liberal as India. You need to present a document in support of your single status. It’s licit as per the foreign law.
How would you get it?
What documents do you need to support your bachelorhood application?
Do you need to fill any application form? Or, do you need to have an affidavit?
These questions would be drilling into your head. It’s obvious.
Let I put off your curiosity through these tips. I would briefly mention the name of the documents required and its application procedure. The most important aspect is filing the single status affidavit in the court.
How can you get it?
Your dilemma is valid as India has no competent authority for addressing this problem. Hundreds of emigrants with an Indian passport stay in the USA, UK, Malaysia and other nations. While giving their career a long flight, they take a route to abroad. In the interim, many of them settle with the foreigner as a life-partner.
Only the court can let you sail through this problem. What all you need to do is:
- Visit the court.
- Meet the oath commissioner or the notary magistrate. Both hold the authority to put a stamp of approval on the affidavit of single status. This certificate can be known as No Record of Marriage, Certificate of Freedom to Marry, Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage, Certificate of No Record – Marriage, Affidavit of Marriageability and
Certificate of No Public Record. - Fill the affidavit form.
- Get it attested from the magistrate.
- Get it apostilled from the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs).
- Later, let it be attested by the embassy of the foreign country.
Which documents do you require to support your CENOMAR application?
- ID proof (Aadhaar Card/ Voter Id/Driving Licence)
- Address proof (Utility Bill/ Bank Passbook)
- Birth proof (Birth certificate/Non-Availability of Birth Certificate/10th class Mark Sheet )
- Parent’s affidavit
- Decree Absolute (if you’re a divorcee)
- Death certificate of the deceased spouse (if your spouse is no more)
What is the correct way of filing the single status affidavit in India?
The foreign law varies as per the country. Let’s say, the USCIS authority of the USA asks for the parental affidavit along your same document. In that case, you need to apply for two affidavits. One would represent you while the other one would echo the consent of your parents.
You must keep the bird’s eye on these points that they are written subtly. These points are commonly introduced in the sworn documents of yours and your parent’s:
- Name of the Affiant (fill the name of the would-be spouse and the parents’ name in two different affidavit forms).
- Residential address and country (of the would-be spouse and the parents separately)
- Birth date (of the affiant and the parents)
- Country name (of the affiant and the parents in the separate affidavit)
- Passport number (of the affiant and the parents in the separate affidavit)
- Marital status (of the affiant)
- Name of the would-be spouse
- Country of the would-be spouse
- Signature (of the affiant and the parents at the bottom)
- Date (when it is filed)
- Statement (of no marriage by the affiant and the parents)
- Date of divorce (of the affiant if he/she is the divorcee)
If you don’t want to file for it in the court, you can still withdraw it. You need to do it on the non-judicial stamp paper. Get it notarized by a local notary.
With all these tips, you can get your certificate of no impediment or CENOMAR or bachelorhood certificate without any hitch.
