About Myanmar's Single Status Certificate

What Is a Single Status Certificate?

A Single Status Certificate is a document required when a Myanmar national submits a marriage registration in Japan, in place of a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage.

Since Myanmar does not have a system for issuing a "Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage," this Single Status Certificate is submitted to prove that the person is unmarried and eligible to marry.

Sample of a Single Status Certificate

We receive many questions about what these documents actually look like, so we have prepared a sample for reference. (Personal information has been masked.)

Please note that the format of the Single Status Certificate varies depending on where it is issued.

How to Obtain a Single Status Certificate

Myanmar's Single Status Certificate cannot be obtained at the Embassy of Myanmar in Japan. It can only be issued in Myanmar, which presents a significant challenge for Myanmar nationals living in Japan.

By providing your National Registration Card (NRC) and Family List, our office can coordinate with a notary lawyer in Myanmar to obtain the Single Status Certificate on your behalf.
