How to obtain Certificate of No Marriage Document in the US?

[steven90cr 0]

Hi guys,

I've gathered all of the necessary documents required for Marriage Registration in Nha Trang, Vietnam and the only document that is missing is Certificate of No Marriage.

From HCMC Embassy website guides:

6. A letter by the local vital statistics office certifies that no marriage license or marriage certificate of the applicant is found within the state where the applicant is residing in. The search period must be started from the year when the applicant was 18-year-old up to date. In case the applicant was divorced, or the spouse has been deceased, a certified photocopy of a divorce decree or a death certificate must be submitted. (This requirement varies from province to province).

From VN US Embassy guides:

Certificate of No-marriage Records issued by the State (or County) Vital Statistics Office within the last six months certifying that no marriage license or marriage record of the applicant has been found from his/her mature age of marriage (age of 18 for female or 20 for male) or since his/her divorce up to now or since his/her spouse’ death up to now.

I went to my State's county (Loudoun, Virginia) court and they said there no such thing because they cannot do a search. My question is, how can i obtain the document and is it required at Nha Trang Official at all?

Thank you

I went to my States vital stats office? Not the county court? Id suggest calling them up.

They didnt have a single status cert but they ran searches attesting no records of marriage for me. I included mine. No RFE.

Certificate of No Marriage = single status?

just go to the us embassy in vn. ask for it for single status if it's the same as certificate of no marriage.

if u want to do here. you go to country clerk and ask for a record of your marriage. if you are single, then it will show nothing. then you take that paper and send to your Secretary of state. require a seal of stamp from them.

That exactly what i did, went to clerk, ask if she can search and she said they cannot do it, I already got my Affidavit of Single Status and Biographic Information Sheet Notarized, Wonder if that enough in Nha Trang?

I guess i'm just going to follow these requirements, although my Vietnamese reading skill isn't 100% but i don't see any requirement of Certificate of No Marriage, am i correct?

If you have that, that's all you need.

I would think that is all you need to prove that you're eligible to get married in VN.

Affidavit of single status is proof that you are not married. It's all you need.
