WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Argentine Single Status Certificate (Certificado de Soltería / Constancia Negativa de Matrimonio)
Argentina has no single nationwide "certificate of single status": the Civil Registry law does not contemplate one, and notably the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) does not issue it at all. Where available, provinces such as Buenos Aires issue a "constancia negativa de matrimonio," certifying that no marriage is registered for the person in that jurisdiction, issued by the provincial Registro del Estado Civil. When no province will certify it, Argentines obtain an "información sumaria," a judicial proceeding before a juzgado in which witnesses declare under oath that the person is single. These two paths produce very different documents: translate the registry "constancia" with its tomo/folio references, or, for an información sumaria, translate the judge's caption and each witness's sworn declaration in full. USCIS and (more often) consular K-1 fiancé(e) or marriage-based processes want the complete document certified into English with the translator's accuracy statement. Because the format and issuing body vary by province, name the exact registry or court in the translation so the officer understands the difference.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Argentine Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Argentina, civil-status records come from the Registro del Estado Civil y Capacidad de las Personas (Civil Registry and Capacity of Persons). Argentina has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1988, so documents are authenticated with a single apostille rather than consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Argentine Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Argentine 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 Argentine original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Argentine Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Argentine 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.
