Obtain Your Indian Marriage Certificate Seamlessly with World Document Services
A marriage certificate stands as the official testimony of a union between two individuals. In India, marriage registrations are predominantly governed by two acts: the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955(1) and the Special Marriage Act of 1954(2). Both bestow the couple with a legally recognized marriage certificate as undeniable evidence of their matrimonial bond.
Essential Documents for Acquiring a Marriage Certificate in India:
- Jointly signed application by the bride and groom.
- Age verification, essential for the Special Marriage Act registration: A groom should be at least 21 and the bride 18 years old. Acceptable documents include 10th Mark sheet, Passport, or Birth Certificate.
- Ration Card issued by the S.D.M(3) belonging to either spouse.
- For those registering under the Special Marriage Act: Proof of a minimum of 30 days residence (Ration card or a report from the respective S.H.O.).
- Affidavits from both the bride and groom detailing the marriage’s location, date, marital status during the marriage, and nationality.
- Two passport-sized photos of both parties and one marriage photograph.
- In the presence of a marriage invitation card, it becomes a valuable asset. If the union happened at a religious venue, a certificate from the presiding priest becomes necessary.
