Not exactly, mrrafe It's not a denial, it's an official certificate issued as the result of a search in the French national register of PACS
mrrafe Jun 28, 2021:
denying the partnmership ... ... As the two responders have now confirmed, thanks
mrrafe Jun 28, 2021:
certificat de non-pacs. "Foreigners require a certificat de non pacte civil de solidarité otherwise know as a certificat de non-pacs."

I think it's a certificate denying that one is in a civil partnership.

Certificate of the absence of a contract of civil partnership

The word "civil" has been left out, for some strange reason. I can't think of any other possibility.

I think you probably do need to gloss "pacte de solidarité" and/or "PACS" in italics, or, better still possibly, call it a "French civil partnership" or a "civil partnership under French law".

"Civil solidarity pact" strikes me as Franglais. In the EN Wiki article, the first thing that is explained it that a PACS is a form of civil union. These things are called civil unions or partnerships in the rest of the world. Gloss "PACS" by all means.
agree AllegroTrans : Certificate of absence of civil partnership/of no pre-existing civil partnership (3 "ofs" in a 10-word term is too clunky)

Fair comment, thanks Chris!

Thanks Julie!
agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Much more authentic in EN to certify the absence of something rather than to certify the "non" presence.

Yes, too Cartesian apparently, that's a good one [this comment refers to a deleted remark]! Thanks Nikki, I appreciate it! / Funnily enough, most things in France are very Cartesian, naturally, sauf dérogation of course, but don't get me started on that!

a non-PACS certificate

Le certificat de non PACS est un document qui atteste du fait que le futur partenaire de PACS n’est pas déjà pacsé. Il est, en effet, interdit de conclure un nouveau PACS alors
que l’on est déjà pacsé.

Ce certificat était obligatoire encore jusqu’en juillet 2008. Depuis, il ne l’est plus pour les français, mais en revanche, le certificat de non PACS reste obligatoire pour les personnes d’origine étrangère.

Thanks !
agree AllegroTrans : Yes, but I would give a bracketed translation of PACS which is 100% opaque to English-speakers
53 mins
Thanks, yes you are right !
neutral philgoddard : I don't think you should use the abbreviation.

Well, i kept it to help people with referencing, to find more easily the official document, but as AllegroTrans suggested a bracketed translation would solve any questioning.

Certificate declaring that a person is not in a civil partnership

Basically the gist is the same as Conor's solution, but a "certificate of absence" is too much, even arguably for the most Cartesian of minds.

Samuël Buysschaert's suggestion is not explanatory. We have to explain!

Allegro T's quotes show that this really is an official document, so "certificate" is needed, rather than "declaration".
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : Declarations (or warranties) are made personally, but not the case here; the certificate is based on an official search in the French national PACS register and is therefore not a declaration
50 mins
Take the point, but I said that your research findings said precisely that. It is the certificate which "declares", not the person. But strictly speaking, yes, it'd be better to say "certificate confirming"
agree philgoddard : Nothing wrong with this.
