The Single Status Certificate is a fundamental document in Belgian civil administration, issued by municipal authorities to officially verify and declare an individual's marital status. This certificate is required in various situations, including marriage proceedings abroad, immigration applications, certain employment requirements, or legal proceedings where marital status verification is necessary. The document is governed by Belgian civil law and must comply with specific administrative requirements set forth in the Belgian Civil Code and municipal regulations. It contains verified information from official population registers and can be authenticated for international use through apostille when required. The certificate typically includes personal identification details, current marital status, and may also contain historical status information when relevant. Its validity is enhanced by official stamps, signatures, and security features to prevent forgery.
