Woohoo, congratulations! Your forever dance partner. Your eternal dance partner, the ghee to your roti.
(Okay, you get the point – you’re getting married!) While you’re busy pinning wedding dresses and taste-testing cake flavours, don’t forget the less glamorous, but equally important, marriage registration.
But seriously, don’t sweat it. RegistrifyMe is here to make sure the paperwork doesn’t harsh your pre-wedding buzz.
We’ll break down the essential documents you’ll need to get that official “we’re married!” certificate.
Your Marriage Registration Checklist: What You Absolutely Need
Application Form: This is like shouting from the rooftops, “We’re getting married!” (Except it’s a form, not your actual rooftop). Each state might have a slightly different version, but they all pretty much want the same info – your names, ages, addresses, that kind of thing. Even pets love a good wedding celebration (and paperwork snuggles).]
Proof of ID and Age: You know, the usual suspects: Aadhaar card, passport, driver’s license. Even that dusty old 10th-grade report card stashed in your parents’ attic will do. Just make sure it hasn’t expired!
Proof of Residence: This is like proving you’re not just in town for a quickie wedding. It could be a utility bill, bank statement, or even your rental agreement. It shows you’ve been living in the area long enough to put down some roots (and get married).
Marriage Proof: This is where things get interesting. If you had a traditional ceremony, you’d need a certificate from the priest, pandit, or officiant. Court marriage? You might need an affidavit or a notice of intent to marry.
Passport-Sized Photographs: Remember those cute photos you took together? (You know, the ones you use as your profile pic?) You’ll need a few for the application and the certificate.
Extra Docs (Just in Case)
Conversion Certificate (If applicable): If either of you switched religions, you might need this to prove it.
Divorce Decree (If applicable): If either of you was married before, you’ll need this document to show you’re single and ready to mingle (again).
Death Certificate (If applicable): Sadly, if a previous spouse passed away, you’ll need to provide this.

FAQs
Marriage registration isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s legal proof of your union. It safeguards your rights, especially when it comes to inheritance, property ownership, and even visa applications if you plan to move abroad.
Ideally, you should register your marriage soon after the wedding ceremony. Most states have a time limit for registering, so it’s best to get it done early to avoid any complications.
That depends on your religion and personal preferences. Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh marriages are typically registered under the Hindu Marriage Act. Interfaith or secular marriages usually fall under the Special Marriage Act.
The basic documents required are:
- Application form
- Proof of age and identity for both partners (Aadhaar card, passport, etc.)
- Proof of residence
- Proof of marriage (certificate, affidavit, or notice)
- Passport-sized photographs
Additional documents like conversion certificates, divorce decrees, or death certificates may be required in certain situations.
We make the whole process a breeze! We simplify the paperwork, save you valuable time, and ensure your registration is done correctly so you can focus on enjoying your newlywed life.
