If you need a Single Status Certificate Apostille for a marriage, job, or visa abroad, the process usually goes like this. First, get the single status (unmarried) certificate or a notarized affidavit from the authority your state accepts, making sure your name and details match your passport exactly. Next, get it attested by the state department, usually Home or General Administration. Then apply for the apostille through the Ministry of External Affairs portal, upload the document, pay the fee, and submit it on your booked slot. Also check whether your destination country is a Hague Convention member, because some countries ask for embassy legalization or a translation instead. Requirements, fees, and timelines differ by state, so confirm the current details before you apply.
