Brother, I don’t know which country you belong to but, in Pakistan when Nikah is performed, local Nikah registrar prepare a Nikah Nama. Each Nikah Nama contains four copies. 1 is for bride’s record, 1 for bridegroom, 1 copy is sent to local Council and 1 copy is retained by the registrar. Based on that Nikah Nama, your local council issues a marriage certificate. This is how it works.Actually i meant this bro, i just have marriage certificate along with English translation, it would be enough!
