NRIs frequently seek a Single Status Certificate, also known as the Bachelorhood Certificate, in order to establish a marriage abroad. When you give a legal, educational credential to someone in another country, it can be difficult to determine whether the certificate is genuine or officially permitted. As a result, the government of a foreign country will want verification that the document you possess is legitimate and not counterfeited, as well as that the signatures of Indian representatives on documents are genuine before accepting them.
Who will attest your certificate?
The verification for attesting your Bachelorhood Certificate passes through numerous check points before finally getting attested. The following offices execute the same:
The Notary Office
A notary public is an officer who notarises the bachelorhood affidavit. He works at the ground level, attesting the document in the court.
The Sub Divisional Magistrate
A short for Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the SDM is competent to authorize the single status certificate in India at district level. They verify the affidavit before counter-attesting it to prove that it is valid from all aspects.
The Ministry of External Affairs
Also called the Ministry of External Affairs, the MEA is the topmost authority working in the center that you cannot skip for attestation. The MEA has appointed a few agencies to collect and vouch for NRIs or emigrants’ attestation services in all states of India to ease out the process. Thus, the MEA attestation can be perceived as a final step of verification for your document.
