TLDR : Answer Summary

The 'free to marry' document obtained from the embassy and approved by the MFA generally does not tie you to a specific individual. As some participants noted, if the affidavit does not specifically mention a name, you may be able to marry someone else without starting the process anew. However, confirming the specific requirements from the MFA and your embassy is essential for your situation.

I am a US citizen and therefore I use the US Embassy and they don't exactly offer a 'free to marry' certificate. They provide and affidavit. The affidavit does not specifically mention my wife. Which means I could have changed wives.
