Affidavit for Marriage Record Verification:
When you want to get married abroad, you have to comply with the laws of that country. If a country has asked you for an affidavit for marriage record verification in Pakistan, then you have to provide it for the registration of your marriage in that country. An affidavit is a statement by a person on oath attested by an oath commissioner in Pakistan. The country where you want to register your marriage may ask you for your own affidavit or an affidavit from your family members, like your mother or father. For the marriage record verification, they may require you to provide the following documents.
Unmarried Certificate:
An unmarried certificate in Pakistan is an official document issued by the government stating that the applicant is unmarried. It is issued by the government after checking the complete record of the applicant. In order to issue the certificate, the government checks the official records and also does physical verification through the union council. This certificate is issued to those who are single or have never been married. Our law firm can assist you in obtaining this certificate.
Affidavit from Applicant:
Some of the countries, in addition to the unmarried certificate from Pakistan, may require you to submit your affidavit. If the country where you want to register requires you to submit your affidavit for marriage record verification in Pakistan, then you have to mention your statement on stamp paper, and this stamp paper will be attested by the oath commissioner in Pakistan.
Affidavit from family Member:

Once this statement is mentioned on a stamp paper, it will be attested by an oath commissioner in Pakistan. In case your mother and father are dead, then any close relative, like your brother or sister, can give you this affidavit.
