Letter of Non-Impediment Express Service Cape Town

A Letter of Non-Impediment to Marriage is an essential document for South African citizens planning to marry in a foreign country. This letter, issued by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), confirms that there is no legal objection to the individual entering into a civil or religious marriage. Many countries require this document to register a marriage involving a South African national.

At Hague Apostille, we assist clients with the application for the Letter of Non-Impediment. Our services are fast, reliable, and available to clients across Cape Town.

What is a Letter of Non-Impediment?

The Letter of Non-Impediment (LNI), also referred to as a Certificate of No Impediment, Single Status Certificate, Affidavit of Single Status, Declaration of Non-Impediment to Marriage, Unmarried Certificate, and/or Marriage Eligibility Certificate, is an official document issued by the South African Department of Home Affairs.

It confirms that you are not currently married and are legally free to marry. This certificate is commonly requested by foreign authorities when registering a marriage abroad.

Common Reasons You May Need This Certificate:

• You are planning to get married in a foreign country
• You need to register your marriage in a country that requires confirmation of your marital status
• Foreign authorities require proof that you are legally eligible to marry

• Document Validity: The certificate is typically valid for 6 months from the date of issue
