A certificate of celibacy, also called a single status certificate or certificate of no impediment, states that a person is not married on the day it is issued. It is requested before a marriage, in the UK or the US as well as abroad, and sometimes for a civil partnership or a family visa. Issued in the language of the home country, it usually needs a certified translation.
Marrying here or abroad: the two cases
A register office in England, or a county clerk in the United States, marrying a foreign national often asks for proof of single status issued by the person's country of origin. When it is written in the home language, it must be translated. For a British or American citizen marrying abroad, the movement is reversed: the authority of the country of the ceremony usually asks for a certificate of no impediment or a sworn statement of single status, to be translated into its language, often after an apostille.
What the translation contains
The translator reproduces the issuing authority, the identity of the applicant, date and place of birth, the wording such as single or not married to date, the date of issue, the period of validity if shown, and the name and position of the signatory. Stamps, seals and any apostille are described. The future spouse's name is transliterated as in the passport, so that the register office finds no difference with the birth certificate. The certified translator adds a stamp and signature.
The right document, country by country
Titles differ: certificate of non-marriage issued by the municipality in North Africa, civil status extract in Turkey, certificate of marital status in Latin America, a statutory declaration before a notary in some countries, which is translated the same way. Send front and back, since the apostille is often on the reverse, and check the date: most offices refuse a certificate more than three months old, sometimes six. A statement you wrote yourself does not replace the certificate.
Price and turnaround
A certificate of celibacy fits on one page: €30. With an apostille on a separate sheet, expect two pages and €60. It reaches you by e-mail within 24 to 48 hours, or in 24 hours with Fast 24h (+€15) and in 12 hours with Express 12h (+€30). Register offices and embassies often want a paper copy: add the original by post, tracked, for €8.
Ordering with the other marriage papers
A marriage file generally includes the birth certificate, the single status certificate and sometimes a divorce decree. Translating them together keeps the names spelt identically and avoids a trip back to the register office.

Questions about translating your certificate of celibacy
Which authority accepts this translation?
The Home Office (UKVI) requires it for a citizenship or visa application, and the General Register Office or your local register office for a marriage or the registration of a birth, marriage or death that took place abroad; in the United States, USCIS requires it for any immigration filing. Our translators are sworn or certified in the country concerned, so the translation is accepted by every authority without further formality.
How many pages does a certificate of celibacy come to?
This document always fits on a single page — it's one of the shortest and quickest translations we handle. The rate is therefore the one-page minimum.
Do you need the original, or is a copy enough?
A photo or scan of the certificate is enough for the translation. Keep the original to hand all the same: the register office or the consulate usually asks for it together with the translation.
The certificate of celibacy has a short validity period — is that a problem?
This document is often only valid for three to six months depending on the destination country, so our 24-to-48-hour turnaround never eats into that validity. Order the translation as soon as you receive the certificate to keep a comfortable margin until you submit your application.
