Overview

In Pakistan, an Unmarried Certificate (also known as a Single Status Certificate or Celibacy Certificate) is an official document issued by the local Union Council, NADRA, or relevant government authorities to confirm that an individual is not married. This certificate is often required for various legal purposes, such as marriage registration abroad, visa applications (especially for spouse visas), work permits, or immigration processes. To obtain the certificate, applicants must submit their CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card), passport-sized photographs, and an affidavit declaring their marital status, along with any additional documents requested by the issuing office. The process may involve verification from the local Union Council or NADRA’s Family Registration Certificate (FRC) system. Since requirements can vary, it’s advisable to check with the concerned embassy or consulate if the certificate is needed for international use.
