Yes, but you do not prove this when you get the RP, so you need to get that "bachelor paper" from the authorities at home.... and what was stated the papers then need to be taken to the ministry of foreign affairs and the local Finnish embassy.... unless the local Embassies are willing to give such a paper (I think Pakistan embassy is in Sweden, don't know about Algiers)
Algeria's embassy is also in Stockholm.
To the OP: I'm not sure they deliver such papers there (you'd need to ask them directly) because in Algeria there isn't a neat computer system where all the citizens' data is entered. If the embassy can't deliver the certificate, your fiancée needs to do the following:
1- Go to town hall (municipality of residence) with a number 12 birth certificate and two male witnesses who will attest that she is unmarried. She will be delivered a certificate of "singlehood" or whatever (tell her to get it in French as it's easier to translate from that)
2- Take the certificate to the "Daïra" (she'll know what that is) and ask for a stamp for "documents destined for use abroad"
3- Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, department of "Etat Civil" to get the document certified (tell her she needs to take a 20 dinar fiscal stamp with her)
4- Go to the embassy of Finland in Algiers (any day of the week, from 9 to 12) and get the final authorization stamp (equivalent of 30 euros)
5- Get document officially translated into Finnish or Swedish (not sure if English counts? Need to ask maistraatti)
6- Apply to maistraatti.
7- Get married after the appropriate waiting period.
As far as I know, she only needs to be there for the first step. From then on, a third party can do the work for her.
