Why register your marriage?
A marriage certificate is the official proof of marriage. It is needed for passports and visas, changing your name, bank and insurance nominations, and protects the rights of both spouses.
Which law applies?
| Act | Applies to | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 | Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs whose marriage has already been solemnised | Application with proofs; both spouses and witnesses appear before the Registrar |
| Special Marriage Act, 1954 | Any couple, including inter-faith marriages | 30-day public notice, then solemnisation and registration before the Marriage Officer with three witnesses |
Several states also have their own compulsory marriage registration rules, which we follow for your location.
Eligibility
The bride must be at least 18 and the groom at least 21, neither may have a living spouse, and both must be capable of giving valid consent.

Marriage Registration – frequently asked questions
Do both spouses need to be present for marriage registration?
Yes. Both spouses and the witnesses must appear before the Registrar or Marriage Officer.
Can we register a marriage that happened years ago?
Yes. Marriages can be registered later, though some states charge a late fee.
What is the 30-day notice under the Special Marriage Act?
A public notice of intended marriage is displayed for 30 days so objections, if any, can be raised before registration.
