WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Peruvian Single Status Certificate (Certificado Negativo de Inscripcion de Matrimonio (Certificado de Solteria))
Peru does not literally issue a "single-status certificate"; the real document is the "Certificado Negativo de Inscripcion de Matrimonio" — RENIEC's proof that no marriage is registered against your DNI — popularly called the "Certificado (or Constancia) de Solteria." It is obtained online at identidad.reniec.gob.pe by selecting "Certificado Negativo -> Matrimonio" (about S/4.10, a PDF with firma digital and QR), or in person at any RENIEC office or the municipality of your birth district. It is valid 90 calendar days, though municipalities often demand one under 30 days for a civil marriage. For a U.S. K-1 fiance(e) petition or to marry in the States, the certified English translation must convey the negative construction precisely — it attests the absence of a registered marriage, not affirmatively that the person is "single" — because that legal nuance affects how USCIS reads it. The translation reproduces the DNI, issuance date, validity period, and QR block, with the translator's signed certification of accuracy attached.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Peruvian Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Peru, civil-status records come from the Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil (RENIEC) — National Registry of Identification and Civil Status. Peru has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since September 30, 2010, so a single apostille replaces consular legalization. Full Peru apostille & authentication guidance →
USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Peruvian Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Peruvian 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 Peruvian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Peruvian Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Peruvian 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 Peruvian single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Peruvian 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 Peruvian 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 partida is old and handwritten — can you still translate it?
Yes. Faded, handwritten libro extracts from provincial registries are common, and our Peru specialists are used to deciphering them. Illegible portions are marked as such in the translation rather than guessed, which keeps the document defensible with USCIS.
