WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Afghan Single Status Certificate (Tasdiq-e Tajarod (Certificate of Celibacy))
The Afghan single-status document is the Certificate of Celibacy (Tasdiq-e Tajarod, colloquially the Mojarad certificate), confirming the applicant is unmarried and free to marry. It is issued by an Afghan court on the testimony of the applicant plus, characteristically, three confessors (moqerr) and two adult Afghan witnesses; expatriates apply through a consulate, which forwards the request to the relevant court. It is a court-sealed single sheet in Dari or Pashto and, importantly, is valid for only six months from its Solar Hijri issue date. USCIS nuance: this document supports K-1 fiance(e) petitions and marriage-based cases where proof of free-to-marry status is requested. The certified translation must convey the affirmative statement of single status, the confessors' and witnesses' names, the issuing court and qazi, and the exact issue date converted from Hijri Shamsi so the consulate can confirm the certificate is still inside its six-month window. The applicant's name must match the Tazkira and passport transliteration precisely to avoid a consular hold.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Afghan Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Afghanistan, civil-status records come from the Afghanistan Central Civil Registration Authority — ACCRA (اداره مرکزی ثبت احوال نفوس), operating under the National Statistics and Information Authority (NSIA / اداره ملی احصائیه و معلومات); its Population Registration Department issues the Tazkira and related civil records. Afghanistan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; the traditional route is attestation by Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by consular legalization at an Afghan embassy.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Afghan Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Afghan single-status certificate, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Afghan original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Afghan Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Afghan single-status certificates vary in scope — in some countries they attest only to the issuing registry's own records, while countries with a centralized national register cover the whole country — so the English wording must state your certificate's actual scope precisely, and name romanization must match the passport.
