Marriage certificate – Hindu marriage act

 

I am posting this information as I have learnt it from one of my friend who got his marriage certificate done.

1. First you need to fill up a form, which can be obtained at the registration office itself.

2. Proof of address for both Bride and Bridegroom.

List of documents that can be submitted as address proof

• Passport mentioning your current address.
• Driving license
• Electricity bill.
• Telephone bill
• Gas connection proof.
• Ration Card
• Voters ID
• A letter from your company HR.
• Rent Agreement copy.
• Bank statement showing your address.

All the documents need to be in English, Hindi or Kannada.

3. Date of Birth proof for Bride and Bridegroom. The following documents will be acceptable.
a. Passport
b. Date of Birth Certificate
c. Driving license
d. School / College leaving certificate
e. Voters ID

4. Invitation card in original.

5. 5 Copies of 2B size photo. A 2B size photo means a joint photo of Bride and Bridegroom.

• Fill the form with details and get it verified with the clerk. The clerk will cross check all the documents attached and then ask for signature of both Bride and Bridegroom on each and every document submitted. After the verification the clerk will stamp on the form.
• Take the stamped form to the Marriage Registrar. He will again verify it and sign it.
• Take the form to the operator who would enter the details in the registration database and give 3 copies of the certificate. Please ensure that all your spelling and details are correct and then sign a draft before printing the final certificate.
• Take the printouts to the clerk. Paste the remaining 3 photos on the 3 certificates and submit it back to the clerk.
• The clerk will acknowledge the receipt and you’ll have to sign in the register.
• The clerk will then get the certificate stamped and signed from the Marriage Registrar.

Important Note:

• Both the Bride and Bridegroom must be present to complete the whole procedure.
• 3 witnesses signature is required.
• 115 Rs. Official fees for registration.
• You will receive 2 original copies of the marriage certificate.
