Single Status Affidavit Format for the UAE, with Sample Wording

A single status affidavit format is a short sworn statement that you are not married. It is used where an office asks for a single status certificate UAE or overseas. You sign it before a notary public, who checks your ID and seals it.

We have in-house, in person notary public services, online notary public services and home visit private notary services. Copy the wording below and we will draft it, check it and get it signed.

Affidavits and declarations

Affidavit of single status

In short

  • Price from AED 600 for the affidavit, with the government fee paid on top at cost.
  • Who signs: you, the person making the statement, in front of the notary public.
  • What to bring: your original passport and Emirates ID, and any paper the receiving office named.
  • Where: in person, at your home or office, or online.
  • Next step: send us the office's request by WhatsApp and we draft your affidavit.

Three ways to get it notarised

In person with our in-house notary public

Bring your originals to our office. The notary public checks each signer's original ID, reads the document, watches you sign and applies the seal.

Home, hospital or office visit

Our home visit private notary service comes to you. The same checks and the same seal apply. Home visit price is a quote on request, plus the Dubai private notary government fee of AED 1,000 per trip outside the place of work.

Online

Notary public online, through the official UAE channels: the Ministry of Justice e-notary or Dubai Courts remote attendance. Read how it works on the e-notary page.

Sample wording

Sample wording for an affidavit of single status

Fill each square bracket. Strike any line that is not your case. If the office gives its own wording, use that instead.

This is your own sworn statement. It is not a certificate issued by a court or a registry. The receiving authority decides what it accepts; check its list first.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is a single status affidavit the same as a single status certificate UAE offices issue?

No. The affidavit is your own sworn statement made before a notary public. A certificate is issued by an authority. The office that asked for the paper tells you which one it wants.

Can I copy an affidavit of single status Dubai sample from another country?

You can use its layout. Remove any line that swears under a foreign law or names a foreign court, because you sign in the UAE before a UAE notary public.

Can someone sign for me?

No. The statement is about you, so you sign it yourself in front of the notary public.

Can it be done online?

Some signings can be done through the official UAE online channels. Send us the request on WhatsApp and we tell you which route fits.
