To whom it may concern

This office occasionally receives requests to provide “No Objection” letters concerning a person’s intent to marry in India. The Embassy cannot make any official certification about the status or eligibility to marry of persons residing in the United States who propose to be married abroad, or about the laws of the United States or of any of the fifty States or Territories about eligibility for marriage or the solemnization of a marriage. Some countries require persons who wish to marry to provide written proof, issued by governmental authority, that there is no legal impediment to the marriage. No such document, or governmental authority to issue such document, exists in the United States.

Previously, this Embassy provided a letter to American citizens wishing to marry in India which stated that we were prohibited from notarizing affidavits concerning marital status. Based on new guidance from the U.S. Department of State the Embassy is authorized to notarize a statement from the U.S. citizen party to the marriage, in which the citizen him or herself affirms that they are free to marry.
