Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage

This certificate confirms that a person is legally free to marry. It is usually requested when a foreign national plans to marry in another country.

Typical translation use cases

Marriage applications at a foreign registry office
Weddings planned in North Cyprus by foreign nationals
Consular marriage procedures

Practical considerations

These certificates often have a limited validity period set by the issuing or receiving authority.
The registry office conducting the marriage may also ask for an apostille or legalisation.

Requirements vary

Requirements for this document vary according to the receiving institution and the destination country. Please check with the institution that will receive it whether it needs a standard translation, a certified translation by a sworn translator, notarisation, an apostille or consular legalisation. These are separate steps and one cannot replace another.
