At Legal Light Consulting (LLC Lawyer), we assist clients in obtaining a Certificate of Bachelorhood / Single-Status / Eligibility to Get Married, a mandatory document for marriage formalities abroad. This certificate serves as official proof that the applicant is unmarried and legally eligible to marry.
The certificate is issued by a competent Court or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) having jurisdiction over the residential address of the applicant. Depending on the requirements of the destination country, the certificate may be issued either in the form of:
A Single-Status Certificate, or
A Sworn Affidavit notarized and authenticated by the SDM
Issuance by SDM/Court
The applicant must apply to the SDM or relevant court with supporting documents. Upon verification, the authority issues the certificate or attested affidavit.
State Home Department Counter-Attestation
After issuance, the certificate must be submitted to the Home Department of the respective State for counter-attestation. This step confirms the authenticity of the SDM or Court’s signature and stamp.
MEA Attestation / Apostille
Once the State Home Department verification is complete, the document must be attested or apostilled by the:
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), CPV Division, New Delhi
– Attestation for countries that are not part of the Hague Convention
– Apostille for countries that are part of the Hague Convention

Update: Ever since this review has been posted Mr Pandey has been personally harassing me and my sister thru phone calls, calling late night and calling us names. Now he has posted a complete fake response of me and my partner being inter caste while hiding his own inefficiency of not able to get our process completed. When I thought this person could not stoop any lower, he exceeds my expectations every single time. We booked Advocate Pandey months in advance for an NRI wedding, trusting his assurances that all timelines would be met. He was polite at first and confidently promised everything would be ready, to the point where we booked our flights based on his commitment. As the date approached, communication broke down. He stopped replying to messages and would only answer sporadically. Worse, on several occasions when my female family members tried to speak with him, he made blatantly misogynistic remarks like, “Ask your husband or brother to call me.” This was not a one-off—he repeatedly refused to communicate directly with women in my family. Even towards the end of our trip, he kept promising, “It will be done tomorrow,” but tomorrow never came. At one point, he told us to gather at the courthouse, which led to elderly in-laws flying in from another city. When we arrived, he was unable to proceed with anything. It was deeply embarrassing for us in front of our families. When my partner asked for a refund of our booking fee, he again refused to speak to her directly, saying her husband should call instead. This is unacceptable in any professional service, let alone from someone in the legal profession. I strongly advise against using Mr. Pandey’s services. Read the other low-star reviews—our experience matches them. Don’t be misled by what appear to be fake positive reviews online. We left India with nothing resolved and a lot of wasted time, money, and frustration.Posted on Arun DhamijaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Terrible Experience – Completely Unprofessional! I had a truly awful experience with Legal Light Consulting and Advocate Vikas Pandey. What should’ve been a simple legal matter turned into a nightmare thanks to their total lack of professionalism. Endless delays: They missed deadlines, ignored emails, and rarely answered calls. I had to chase them constantly just to get basic updates. Poor legal guidance: The advice was vague, generic, and clearly rushed. It felt like they didn’t even try to understand my case properly. Took ₹40,000 and delivered nothing: I paid ₹40,000 in good faith, expecting proper legal help. Instead, I got excuses, delays, and zero results. To make things worse, they later added hidden fees with no clear explanation. This is not how any legal professional should operate. I deeply regret trusting them. If you value your money and sanity, avoid Legal Light Consulting and Advocate Vikas Pandey at all costs.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
