The Marriage Search Certificate is a document issued by the provincial Canadian government. Most countries may require you to obtain this document before you can be married internationally. Unlike the Statement in Lieu of Non-Impediment to Marriage Abroad, this document proves that a marriage did not take place in the respective province. We can help you obtain this document and attest it for use in any country outside of Canada! What we need to recieve from you is listed above.
The Declaration of Single Status is a document wherein you state that you were not married, or were married in the past, but currently are unmarried and thus free to marry someone else. This is a document that you can draft yourself with the help of a notary, and then sign in front of them to have it notarized. After, you will only need to attest it (or apostille it) before it’s valid for use abroad. We offer both notarization and attestation services!
Contact us further for help in obtaining any of the three documents.
