WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Ghanaian Single Status Certificate (Statutory Declaration of Single Status)
Ghana has no single nationwide "single status certificate"; proof of being unmarried is normally a Statutory Declaration / Affidavit of Single Status sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths or a notary, or a marital-status certificate obtained through the Registrar General's Department. It is drafted in English on affidavit/court stationery, signed by the deponent and the commissioner, and frequently backed by witnesses' affidavits attesting the person is free to marry. Because Ghana is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention, documents for US use are authenticated by Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consular-legalized rather than apostilled — but for USCIS or a US County Clerk the English text usually needs no translation. Where the declaration folds in a local-language attestation from a family head or chief, or a vernacular oath, we certify-translate that portion, and supply a matching certified transcription when the affidavit is a faint photocopy. We transcribe the deponent's full name, declaration date, and exact statement of unmarried status so it aligns with the fiancé(e) K-1 filing or the marriage-license clerk's record.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Ghanaian Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Ghana, civil-status records come from the Births and Deaths Registry (BDR) — Registry of Births and Deaths, Ghana. Ghana is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; where a receiving authority requires legalization, the record is first authenticated by Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in Accra and then legalized by the destination country's embassy (the U.S. Embassy in Accra for U.S. use).

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