Single Status Certificate Template for Denmark

The Single Status Certificate is a crucial document in Danish civil administration, primarily used when individuals need to prove their freedom to marry, especially for marriages taking place abroad or involving foreign nationals. This certificate is issued based on information from the Danish Civil Registration System (CPR) and complies with Danish marriage legislation (Ægteskabsloven). It contains verified personal information, current marital status, and official authentication. The document is particularly important in international contexts where proof of no impediment to marriage is required by foreign authorities. Danish municipalities are authorized to issue these certificates, which may require apostille certification for international recognition. The certificate's validity period is typically limited, usually three to four months from the date of issue.
