What is a Non-Marriage Certificate?
A **Non-Marriage Certificate**, often referred to as a **Single Status Certificate** or **Certificate of No Marriage**, is a legal document used to verify that an individual is currently not married. In the administrative framework of Pakistan, this certificate is frequently required by various government departments and international agencies. Whether you are a widow claiming a family pension, a student applying for a specific scholarship, or an individual moving abroad, this certificate serves as the primary proof of your marital status.
At AtifTech, we understand that visiting government offices for small clerical tasks can be time-consuming. Our digital generator allows Secretaries and Chairmen of Village Councils (VC) and Neighborhood Councils (NC) to produce a professional, error-free A4 PDF certificate in seconds, ensuring that applicants get their documents without delay.
Pension Compliance
Required annually by the Accountant General (AG) Office for widows to continue receiving family pensions under government rules.
Visa & Immigration
Crucial for applicants moving to countries like Italy, Spain, or the UK to prove they have no existing marital ties in their home country.
Scholarships
Many merit-based and need-based scholarships require proof of single status to determine the financial dependency of the applicant.
Why is this Certificate Required for Pensioners?
In Pakistan, when a government employee passes away, their pension is often transferred to the surviving spouse (widow). However, under the **Civil Service Rules**, this pension is only applicable as long as the widow does not remarry. To ensure compliance with these regulations, the AG Office or the relevant bank requires a Non-Marriage Declaration or certificate every six months or annually. If the pensioner fails to provide this certificate, their pension may be suspended. Our tool helps Village Council staff generate these forms quickly to support the elderly in their community.
Standard Procedure for Issuance
The issuance of a Non-Marriage Certificate usually follows a specific administrative path within the Local Government & Rural Development Department (LG&RDD):
- Application: The individual applies to the Secretary of their respective Village or Neighborhood Council.
- Verification: The council staff verifies the claim through local witnesses or neighborhood elders.
- Data Entry: Using the AtifTech Non-Marriage Tool, the Secretary enters the applicant's Name, Father's Name, CNIC, and Address.
- PDF Generation: The system produces a formal letterhead-style PDF ready for official signatures and rubber stamps.
Legal Framework: Single Status & Divorcees
For individuals who are divorced or widowed, the Non-Marriage Certificate acts as proof that they have not entered into a new marriage contract after their previous legal status changed. It is often requested by foreign embassies as part of a "Single Status Affidavit." This document confirms that there are no legal impediments to marriage for that individual in a foreign jurisdiction.
