    Is there any way to check the marital status of a person?

    Is there any way to verify what they tell you? If someone claims to be unmarried and really is, is there a way to prove it?

    Check for a marriage certificate.

    There is no way to search for marriages as there may be overseas marriages.

    I don;'t think you can search for a marriage certificate unless you know the names of the parties and the date and place of the marriage, at least approximately. And, even if you found a marriage certificate, you'd then have two new problems; how can you tell if the spouse named there is still alive? How can you tell if the marriage has been ended by divorce?

    No, there's nobody who can certify that someone is single. If they say they're single, and their family and social circle back that up, that's the most reliable information you're going to get, but there remains a theoretical possibility that it will turn out to be false.
