contents We study the asymptotic rank of adjacency matrices of a large class of edge-weighted configuration models. Here, the weight of a (multi-)edge can be any fixed non-zero element from an arbitrary field, as long as it is independent of the (multi-)graph. Our main result demonstrates that the asymptotic behavior of the normalized rank of the adjacency matrix neither depends on the fixed edge-weights, nor on which field they are chosen from. Our approach relies on a novel adaptation of the component exploration method of \cite{janson2009new}, which enables the application of combinatorial techniques from \cite{coja2022rank, HofMul25}.
