Non-Impediment letter/ Single Status Certificate

As no records of marriage of Indian nationals are kept with any Indian Embassy/High Commission/Consulate, the applicant for want of non-impediment letter has to take following steps:

A Certificate of bachelorhood/single-status/eligibility to get married can be issued by a competent court/SDM having jurisdiction of the area of the residential address of the applicant. This can be in the form of a certificate/ affidavit notarized by SDM which is required to be counter-attested by the Home Department of the State concerned. Thereafter, it is to be attested/apostilled by the Attestation Section of the Consular, Passport & Visa (CPV) Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi.
