About this translation
There is no national certificate of single status in the United States. To prove marital status, you can ask a state's vital records office for a letter reporting the result of a search in its marriage records (marriage record search). It states whether a marriage was found under the person's name, usually specifying the period covered by the search.
When do you need it translated?
A marriage file at a French town hall (mairie), to show you are not already married
A PACS registered at the town hall or with a notaire
A residence permit or nationality file that looks at your family situation
Our translation
We translate the whole letter: text, search result, period covered, stamp, seal and the registrar's signature. A search only covers the records of the state concerned, so the town hall may ask for other documents, such as a sworn statement or a certificate of custom law (certificat de coutume). Check with them.
