A SINGLE STATUS AFFIDAVIT

[500Reil 1]

I guess i need a SINGLE STATUS AFFIDAVIT from the country clerk, notarized.

 

But do I also need the APOSTILLE service?

 

Thanks for the help.

Why would you need that?

Which country requires this?

The Country is Cambodia. I know. Its crazy. I went to the US embassy and got a notarized document, that I am single. But because it was hand-written.(that's how the embassy gave it to me). They, Cambodia wouldn't accept it. 

I wasn't sure if i still needed a the Apostille service, once i have notarized affidavit of single status from here in the US.

You posted in the spousal visa forum. I think that’s why it was confusing since for a spousal visa you have to be married and not single. Are you going through fiancé visa?

I see this now after reading it on the U.S. Embassy website for Cambodia.  Seems funny it is not acceptable, maybe try going back to the U.S. Embassy there if you are still in country.  You may want to hit the “Report” button on your OP and request a moderator move this to the proper regional forum to get more relevant responses.

 

Good Luck!

 

The U.S. Embassy can certify U.S. passport copies and notarize affidavits of single status. None of the other documents required by the MFA can be certified by the U.S. Embassy. The MFA has assured the U.S. Embassy that it will accept marriage applications in which only the passport copies and affidavits of single status have been certified.

Just a guess, but I assume they are planning to marry in Cambodia.

Oh I see. Utah zoom marriage would have avoided all these issues and the marriage certificate would be US based issued by Utah county.
