WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Indonesian Single Status Certificate (Surat Keterangan Belum Menikah (Belum Pernah Menikah))
Indonesia has no central marital registry, so proof of single status is assembled rather than pulled from one office. The document is the Surat Keterangan Belum Menikah (or 'Belum Pernah Menikah'), which typically begins as a statement endorsed by the RT and RW (neighborhood associations), is legalized by the Kelurahan or Kecamatan, and, for international use, is formalized as a Certificate of No Impediment through Disdukcapil for non-Muslims or the KUA for Muslims. Because it is a layered, affidavit-style document, it carries several stamps and signatures at each administrative level, and a certified translation must render every one, not just the body text. For a USCIS K-1 fiance(e) petition, the translation must preserve the precise 'belum pernah menikah' (never married) wording, the issuing kelurahan and district, the reference number, and the issue date, since the certificate is date-sensitive. Preserve the applicant's mononym or pre-reform spelling exactly. Translation HelpDesk delivers the certified English translation with an 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) Certificate of Accuracy.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Indonesian Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Indonesia, civil-status records come from the Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil (Department of Population and Civil Registration), commonly "Dukcapil" or "Disdukcapil". Indonesia joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 4 June 2022), so a single apostille now replaces embassy legalization. Full Indonesia apostille & authentication guidance →
USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Indonesian Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Indonesian 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 Indonesian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Indonesian Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Indonesian 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.
