Apostille for Certificates of No Impediment (CNI)

For a British citizen getting married abroad, an Apostille on a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) is often a crucial step. A CNI is a document issued by a local UK register office that confirms there are no legal reasons preventing you from marrying. The apostille is an official certificate from the UK government that legalizes the CNI for use in a foreign country that is part of the 1961 Hague Convention.

When planning to use your Certificate of No Impediment (CNI), ensuring its acceptance and recognition is crucial. At 2E Apostille, we specialise in obtaining apostilles from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), making your documents legally valid for use abroad.

What Is a Certificate of No Impediment?

A CNI, sometimes called a “Certificate of Freedom to Marry” or “Nulla Osta,” is required by many countries to prove that you are legally free to marry. To get one, you must give notice of your marriage at your local UK register office. There’s a mandatory waiting period of around 28 days for any objections to be raised. If there are no objections, the CNI is issued.

Why Do You Need an Apostille? 🌍

An Apostille authenticates the CNI, verifying that the signature, seal, and stamp on the document are genuine. This process, known as “legalisation,” ensures that the CNI will be accepted by the foreign authorities in the country where you plan to marry. You must get the original CNI apostilled; photocopies aren’t accepted.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification issued by the UK FCDO. It verifies the authenticity of your document, such as a Certificate of No Impediment, for use in foreign countries. Whether you’re handling employment matters, legal proceedings, or personal affairs abroad, an apostille ensures your document is valid and acknowledged by international authorities.
