India doesn’t have a competent authority that issues a single status certificate. The Only Punjab state has this kind of government authority. That’s why a bachelor NRI should create an oath stating that he/she is single. Then, it should be notarized before the notary officer. Subsequently, he/she should get it stamped from the home minister of the state and center. Thereafter, the same would be attested by the consular officer of the foreign country.
