Offline Marriage Registration in Delhi & NCR:
When you arrive at the office, you’ll need to fill out a form that includes information about both spouses, such as your full names, fathers’ names, mothers’ names, addresses, occupations, and ages. You will also need to provide information about your marriage, such as the date and location of the ceremony. Once you have completed the form, you will need to submit it along with several other documents, including:
- Proof of identity for both spouses (e.g., passport, voter ID card)
- Proof of age for both spouses (e.g., birth certificate)
- Photos of both spouses
- Photos of the marriage ceremony
- A copy of the marriage invitation
- A copy of the marriage certificate issued by the priest/pandit who officiated the ceremony
- affidavits from both spouses attesting to their marital status (e.g., single, divorced, widowed)
- affidavits from two witnesses attesting to the fact that they witnessed the marriage ceremony
After submitting all of these documents, you will be given a receipt. The marriage registration process will be complete once the registrar has processed your application and issued a marriage certificate, which can take up to four weeks.
