Where to Order Wisconsin Affidavit of Singleness Apostille

How to Order an Affidavit of Singleness or Letter of Non-Marriage

If you need proof of your single status for marriage outside the United States, you may be asked to provide an Affidavit of Singleness or an official Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage. Before ordering, check with the foreign government, consulate, or marriage authority to determine which document they require.

Option 1: Order a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage

The Wisconsin Vital Records Office can issue a Letter of Non-Marriage when it is required for marriage in another country.

Complete the Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage Application (F-05260) and provide the required identification, information about the years you lived in Wisconsin, and the applicable fee.

The Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage must be requested by completing the required application and submitting it by mail or fax. The mailing address and fax number are provided directly on the application form.

Wisconsin Vital Records will search its records for a Wisconsin Certificate of Marriage during the applicable period. If no marriage certificate is found, the office will issue a notarized Letter of Non-Marriage stating that no Certificate of Marriage was found on file for the period searched.

Option 2: Prepare an Affidavit of Singleness

If the receiving country accepts an Affidavit of Singleness, you may prepare or purchase an affidavit from a site online containing the required declaration about your marital status.

The affidavit must be properly signed and notarized before it can be submitted for a Wisconsin apostille.

Before You Order

Requirements vary significantly from country to country. Some authorities specifically require a government-issued Letter of Non-Marriage, while others accept a notarized Affidavit of Singleness.

Confirm which document is required before ordering your apostille service. Once you have the appropriate document, Wisconsin Apostille Agent can handle the apostille process and return the completed document to you for international use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisconsin Affidavit of Singleness Apostilles

 Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is an Affidavit of Singleness?

An Affidavit of Singleness, also called a Single Status Affidavit or Affidavit of Single Status, is a sworn statement declaring that you are currently unmarried and legally free to marry. It is commonly requested when getting married abroad.

 

What is a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage?

Wisconsin Vital Records issues a Letter of Non-Marriage for individuals who need evidence of their marital status to marry in another country. Wisconsin Vital Records searches its marriage records for the applicable period and, when it finds no Wisconsin marriage certificate, issues a notarized Letter of Non-Marriage.

Is an Affidavit of Singleness the same as a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage?

No. An Affidavit of Singleness is generally a sworn, notarized statement by the individual. Wisconsin Vital Records issues a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage after searching its marriage records. The country where you plan to marry may specifically require one or the other.

Does an Affidavit of Singleness need to be notarized before it can be apostilled?

Yes. If you prepare or purchase an Affidavit of Singleness for a Wisconsin apostille, it must be properly notarized and meet Wisconsin apostille requirements.

Does a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage need additional notarization?

The Letter of Non-Marriage issued by Wisconsin Vital Records is notarized. You should not add another notarization unless specifically instructed to do so.

Where can I obtain a Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage?

You can request a Letter of Non-Marriage from the Wisconsin Vital Records Office using the Letter of Non-Marriage application. The service is intended for individuals who need the document to marry in another country.

How far back does Wisconsin search for marriage records?

Wisconsin Vital Records states that the search generally covers the years you lived in Wisconsin from age 16 to the present. If you were previously married, the search may instead begin with the date your most recent marriage ended.

Can I use an Affidavit of Singleness to get married in another country?

Possibly. Requirements vary by country and local marriage authority. Some authorities accept an apostilled Affidavit of Singleness, while others may require an official Letter of Non-Marriage or additional documents.

What if I was previously married?

Being previously married does not necessarily prevent you from obtaining proof of your current single status. However, the foreign authority may also require proof that your previous marriage legally ended, such as an apostilled divorce certificate, divorce decree, or death certificate of a former spouse.

Do I need to tell you which country the document will be used in?

Yes. Always provide the destination country when placing your apostille order. Apostille and authentication requirements depend on where the document will be presented.

Will I need a translation?

Possibly. Some foreign governments and marriage authorities require the apostilled document to be translated into their official language. Confirm translation requirements directly with the authority receiving your documents.

How recent does my Affidavit of Singleness or Letter of Non-Marriage need to be?

The receiving country or marriage authority determines how recently the document must have been issued or signed. Some authorities impose their own validity period, so confirm this requirement before ordering the document and apostille.

Can I have my Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage sent directly to Wisconsin Apostille Agent?

Yes. After placing your apostille order, you may arrange to have your Wisconsin Letter of Non-Marriage sent directly to Wisconsin Apostille Agent for processing. Be sure to include the document holder’s name and any necessary identifying information in the Special Instructions section of your apostille order.
