Document: Single Status Affidavit. Include the approximate length, recipient, and deadline if you know them. We’ll review your request and may contact you by email about next steps.
What to know
Confirm whether a sworn statement is the requested proof
A personal statement of unmarried status and an authority-issued civil-status record do not carry the same evidentiary weight.
Reader and purpose
Marital-status wording, dates, residence, and jurisdictional limits should be translated as written.
Quote details
Ask the receiving office whether it accepts a self-declaration or requires an authority-issued certificate.
Document guide
What to check before ordering
These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.
Identify who made and certified the statement
Check whether the source is a person’s declaration, a notarial affidavit, a court record, or a government-issued search or certificate. Preserve the declarant, date, jurisdiction, marital-status wording, signature, oath or affirmation, and the notary’s actual certificate. A notary may have verified a signature or oath without verifying the underlying marital history; translation should not upgrade the claim.
Ask the Slovak registry which evidence it accepts
Slovakia’s public service portal lists proof of civil status among documents foreign nationals submit before a marriage in Slovakia, alongside identity, nationality, and applicable evidence ending a previous marriage. Under section 28 of the Slovak Registries Act, a foreign applicant submits the listed documents to the registry at least 14 days before the wedding, and the civil-status document must be no older than six months. That timing does not make every self-declaration acceptable. Ask the specific registry office whether it accepts the affidavit you have, needs an authority-issued record, or requires an additional document; confirm the filing date before ordering a translation.
Check whether the registry already has the required data
The current section 28(4) removes submission of the documents listed in section 28(1)(a)–(f) when the designated information system contains their data. Before preparing or translating a single-status affidavit, ask the registry whether it can use that route for your civil-status evidence. Do not assume a foreign record or private statement is held in that system. This exception does not establish that an affidavit is an accepted substitute, and the identity-document requirement is separate.
Keep prior-status qualifications visible
A statement may say never married, presently unmarried, divorced, widowed, or free to marry under a named law. These are not identical claims. Identify attached divorce judgments, death certificates, prior-name evidence, or certificates of search if the registry asks for them. Notarization, apostille or legalization, and translation are separate steps; the relevant office decides which apply to your source and procedure.
Scope without posting private history
Give the issuing country or state, document title, number of pages and attachments, receiving registry, requested translation form, and deadline. Do not enter names, dates of birth, addresses, or prior-marriage details in the public quote form. Arrange review of the actual source after scope is understood.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Answers to common questions before you request a quote.
Does a notarized affidavit prove the government checked my status?
Not necessarily. Read what the notary certified and ask the registry whether a separate official record is required.
Can this replace a certificate of no impediment?
Only if the receiving registry accepts it for your case. Provide its exact checklist before ordering.
