WHAT Is Letter Of Non Impediment

A Letter of Non-Impediment is an official document issued by South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs confirming that you are not currently married and legally free to marry.It serves as proof of single status and is required by many foreign countries before they allow a marriage to be registered or performed.
This document is internationally recognised and often needs to be apostilled or legalised for use abroad.
