WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Mexican Single Status Certificate (Constancia de Solteria)
The certificate of single status in Mexico is the constancia de solteria, formally the constancia de inexistencia de matrimonio ('proof that no marriage record exists'). It is issued by the state Registro Civil - specifically the civil registry of the state where the person's birth was registered - after a search of that state's marriage books. It certifies the registry found no record of the person marrying, and prints on official letterhead with a folio, seal, and the registrar's signature. Because it is state-scoped, it only proves single status within that state's records, a limitation the translation should convey by rendering 'inexistencia de matrimonio' literally rather than loosely as 'certificate of celibacy.' USCIS may request it for a fiance(e) K-1 or to resolve a marital-history discrepancy. Translate the certifying legend, the CURP if shown, the period searched, and the registrar's title exactly. Some Mexicans instead submit a notarized declaracion jurada de solteria (sworn affidavit) - a different instrument; if that is what the applicant holds, the translation must label it accurately, not as a registry constancia.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Mexican Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Mexico, civil-status records come from the Registro Civil (Civil Registry). Mexico has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1995, so a Mexican public document is authenticated with a single apostille — no U.S. embassy or consular legalization is needed.

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

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mexican single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Mexican single-status certificate is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Mexican 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.
My old birth certificate is handwritten and hard to read. Can you still translate it?
Yes. Records from before the 1980s were entered by hand in bound ledgers and often have faded ink plus marginal annotations. Our native-Spanish specialists transcribe what is legible, mark truly unreadable fields as "[illegible]" as required, and flag them for you, so the translation is honest and USCIS-ready rather than guessed.
