Using a Dutch single status certificate
in Brazil.
Need Dutch proof that you are unmarried for a Brazilian marriage, civil registry, notarial or immigration procedure? Apostille Assist helps identify the document the recipient means and coordinate the agreed Dutch-side request, apostille and delivery steps.
Choose the right level of support

Frequently asked questions
Is there one standard Dutch single status certificate?
No. The required evidence may depend on your municipality, residence history and the specific facts the Brazilian recipient wants proven.
Is proof of single status the same as a certificate of no impediment?
Not necessarily. The terms can refer to different facts or procedures, so the recipient should clarify the request.
Can Dutch civil-status evidence be apostilled for Brazil?
A suitable Dutch public document with a recognised signature may be eligible for a Dutch apostille.
Does the document need Portuguese translation?
It may. Confirm the translator status, document set and whether translation should follow apostille.
Can the document be requested while I am abroad?
Often it can, depending on the municipality, your eligibility, identification and any authorisation requirements.
Can acceptance in Brazil be guaranteed?
No. The Brazilian cartorio, authority or other recipient makes the final decision about the evidence it accepts.
