Certificate of No Impediment

A Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) is an official document that confirms an individual is legally free to marry. It is often required when one or both partners are from different countries, especially if they plan to marry abroad. The certificate proves that there are no legal obstacles to the marriage, such as existing marriages or legal issues. Obtaining a CNI typically involves providing personal information and documentation to a government authority, which verifies that the individual meets the legal requirements to marry.
