Letter of Non-Impediment Application

For South African citizens planning to marry abroad, a Single status certificate, also known as a Letter of Non-Impediment (LNI), is an essential legal document. This certificate confirms your marital status and verifies that there are no legal obstacles preventing you from getting married in a foreign country.

What is a Single Status Certificate?

A Single Status Certificate also known as a Letter of Non-impediment is an official certificate stating that there are no objections to a proposed marriage or civil partnership. Many countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, require this document to legally proceed with marriage on their soil. It is an important part of the process to ensure compliance with international marriage laws.

In South Africa, the Department of Home Affairs issues the Letter of Non-Impediment. It is available only to South African citizens and is valid for six months from the date of issue, making it suitable for use overseas.

Global Apostille provides expert assistance to apply for and obtain your Certificate of Non-Impediment in as little as five working days, ensuring it is ready for legal use abroad.
