WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Nepali Single Status Certificate (Abibahit Pramanpatra (अविवाहित प्रमाणपत्र))
Nepal's single-status document is the Unmarried Certificate — Abibahit Pramanpatra — issued by the ward office of the applicant's permanent residence, confirming from the civil-registration records that the person is currently unmarried. It is typically issued same-day against the citizenship certificate, an application, and a sworn affidavit of unmarried status, and carries the ward chairperson's signature and seal with an issue date in Bikram Sambat. Crucially, its validity is short — often only 15–30 days for court purposes — so timing the translation to the filing matters. For a U.S. K-1 fiancé(e) visa or a marriage-based case where USCIS or the consulate wants proof the applicant is free to marry, translate both the ward attestation and the underlying affidavit language exactly, including the declarant's name, the ward and municipality, and the seal. Attach the translator's certification of accuracy and competency; because the certificate is often notarized in Nepal before consular attestation, translate any notary endorsement verbatim too rather than dropping it.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Nepali Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Nepal, civil-status records come from the Local Registrar's Office (स्थानीय पञ्जिकाधिकारीको कार्यालय) at the ward level, under the Department of National ID and Civil Registration (DoNIDCR / राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्र तथा पञ्जिकरण विभाग), Ministry of Home Affairs. Nepal is not a Hague Apostille country, so no apostille exists; civil documents are authenticated by consular legalization — notarization, then the Chief District Officer / District Administration Office, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Department of Consular Services, Tripureshwor, Kathmandu), and where required the Embassy of Nepal in Washington, DC.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Nepali Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Nepali 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 Nepali original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Nepali Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Nepali 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 Nepali single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Nepali 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 Nepali 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.
How will my name be spelled in the English translation?
We match the romanized spelling on your passport. Nepali names transliterated from Devanagari can be spelled several ways (for example Shrestha vs. Shreshtha), and USCIS cross-checks names across documents, so we keep every translation consistent with your passport and citizenship certificate.
