WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Nicaraguan Single Status Certificate (Certificado de Soltería (Constancia de Soltería))
Proving single status in Nicaragua is a two-part exercise the translation must reflect. First, a Notario Publico prepares a notarial declaration (declaracion / escritura publica) in which the person swears they are single — for foreign use this must state they are single 'en todo el territorio nacional.' Second, the municipal Registro Civil (alcaldia) or the Registro Central del Estado Civil de las Personas issues the Certificado/Constancia de Solteria, essentially a 'negativa de matrimonio' confirming no marriage is recorded, under the CSE; the notarial deed is typically directed to that Central Registry, and the service costs about C$300. Because Nicaragua tracks matrimonio, union de hecho estable, and divorce separately, the certificate must clearly distinguish never-married solteria from divorced or widowed status. USCIS rarely requires it, but a K-1 fiance(e) petition or a marriage to be celebrated abroad often does — so the translator renders both the notary's sworn declaration and the registry's negative certification, preserving each seal and the two-surname naming.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Nicaraguan Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Nicaragua, civil-status records come from the Registro Civil de las Personas (Civil Registry of Persons), operated under the Consejo Supremo Electoral (Supreme Electoral Council). Nicaragua joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 14 May 2013), so its public documents are authenticated with a single apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) rather than US embassy/consular legalization.

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