What is a Statutory Declaration of Single Status
1
A Statutory Declaration of Single Status is an official statement made before a Notary Public declaring that you are not currently married.
This document is most often required when a Canadian citizen or resident plans to get married abroad or needs to confirm their single status for foreign authorities.
It is a sworn declaration under the Canada Evidence Act, and it carries the same legal weight as a statement made in court.

These errors can lead to delays, rejected documents, and even postponed marriage ceremonies.
But in practice, people often encounter the following problems:
- Incorrect format or wording: each country and embassy has its own requirements for declarations;
- Different wording depending on your marital history.
- The content of the declaration differs depending on whether you have never been married, are divorced, or widowed. Each case requires specific wording and supporting details to be legally acceptable in the country where the document will be used.
- Missing required information, such as full parental details or intended spouse’s name;
- Improper notarization, for example, missing notary’s signature or embossed seal;
- No apostille or legalization, making the document unusable abroad;
- Translation issues, when foreign authorities question or even reject uncertified translations.
