WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Haitian Single Status Certificate (Certificat de célibat (Certificat de non-mariage))
Haiti keeps no government registry of singleness, so the 'single-status' proof is a certificat de célibat / certificat de non-mariage drawn up as a sworn affidavit before a Haitian notaire (a lawyer acting as notary). The affiant declares full name, date and place of birth, parents' names, and passport data, and swears they have never married — or married and since divorced. It is a French-language notarial deed, not an Archives Nationales extract, and because Haiti is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention it is legalized by the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères rather than apostilled. For a K-1 fiancé(e) case or a marriage abroad, our certified translation reproduces the notaire's attestation, the jurat, and the affiant's declaration verbatim, keeps names exactly as sworn, and attaches the translator's certification of competence and accuracy. We translate the document; we do not notarize it — USCIS needs the faithful English rendering, while the notarization stays with the original Haitian deed.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Haitian Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Haiti, civil-status records come from the Archives Nationales d'Haïti (National Archives of Haiti), which issues certified extracts (extraits) of civil records originally drawn up by a local Officier d'État Civil (Civil Status Officer). Haiti is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; when authentication is needed they follow the traditional legalization chain — first legalized by Haiti's Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et des Cultes (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and then by the Haitian consular section or the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.

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

Is your Haitian single status certificate translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
What is the difference between an 'acte' and an 'extrait' from the Archives Nationales?
The acte is the original record drawn up by the local Officier d'État Civil; the extrait is the certified copy issued later by the Archives Nationales d'Haïti. USCIS accepts either, as long as it is an official certified copy accompanied by a certified English translation.
