If you're unmarried and planning to tie the knot abroad, you’ll probably need a Single Status Certificate in Pakistan. It’s an official document that says, “Yes, I’m single and free to marry.” It’s also handy for things like immigration or residency paperwork. Now, if you’re taking this document to a country in the Hague Convention, you’ll need it apostilled—basically, a fancy word for getting it internationally verified. Think of it as the passport stamp for your certificate.
There’s also something called the Single Status Declaration Certificate. It’s like an affidavit, and it does the same job of proving you’re single—whether you need it locally or internationally.
Then there’s the marital status certificate. This one is more about confirming your marital history. It’s useful if you need to avoid hiccups when registering a future marriage or handling legal stuff.
As for the cost? That depends on a few things: where you’re getting it, what extra attestations are required, and how quickly you need it done. Whether you're planning an international wedding or sorting out residency requirements, these certificates make the process smoother and hassle-free.
