Alternatively, you can apply to the registrar of the place where either spouse
stayed for at least six months before marriage.
Both partners need to fill
the relevant application form, sign it, and submit it, along with photocopies
of the necessary documents , such as age proof and address proof (as stated under
heading "Requirement" above). For proof of marriage, submit a certificate from the
priest who solemnized the marriage.
Both parties will need to
disclose their previous marital status, if any.
The people who have
converted to Hinduism will have to
provide a certificate of conversion from the priest who solemnised the
marriage, along with relevant documents.
All the documents should be
attested by a gazetted officer.
Lastly, deposit a fee with the cashier and attach the receipt with the form.
Once the application has been submitted and the documents verified, the concerned officer will assign a date for registration, when the marriage certificate will be issued.
