For individuals planning to live, marry, or conduct legal matters in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), proper documentation is essential. One of the key documents often required is a No Record of a Marriage Certificate (also known as a Certificate of No Marriage Record or Single Status Affidavit). This document verifies that an individual has not been previously married in the issuing jurisdiction. UAE authorities require this certificate to be legalized before it is accepted for official use.
The Arab American Chamber of Commerce provides professional services for the legalization of No Record of a Marriage certificates, ensuring compliance with UAE regulations and offering a reliable, streamlined process.
No Record of a Marriage legalization is the process of verifying the authenticity of a U.S.-issued certificate confirming that no marriage record exists for an individual. Because the UAE is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, this document cannot be authenticated with a simple apostille. Instead, it must go through a complete legalization process involving both U.S. and UAE authorities.
This ensures the certificate is recognized as valid in the UAE and can be used for personal, legal, and administrative purposes.
Legalization confirms that the certificate was issued by a recognized U.S. authority and is genuine. Without proper legalization, the UAE government, courts, and other institutions will not accept the document.
Marriage Applications: Required by UAE authorities to prove eligibility for marriage.
Residency and Immigration: Supporting documentation for visa or sponsorship applications.
Family and Legal Matters: Verification of marital status for inheritance, custody, or guardianship cases.
Court Proceedings: Legal proof of single status when required by UAE judicial authorities.

Delays in residency or visa approvals.
Complications in school or university admissions.
Rejection of sponsorship applications.
Additional costs for repeating the process.
