Hello,

Can we get a marriage Certificate from Mumbai if the marriage was done in some other State. I was married in North India and was wondering if I could get a marriage Certificate issued from Mumbai.

Can anyone let me know if this possible. Also can someone let me know what is the procedure for getting a marriage Certificate from Mumbai. ANy forms we need to fill out, anything required like photos .... etc. .. And how long would it take.

Thanks,

You will have to get the marriage certificate from the registrar of marriages in the city/town where you got married. It is NOT possible to get it from another place.
 
If your marriage was registered, it should be easy to get a marriage certificate. If not, you will need to register first. To register your marriage, both you and your spouse will have to appear before the registrar personally along with proof of marriage (invitation cards, photos, passports, etc). You will also need 2 witnesses who can testify to the marriage ceremony.
I think you will automatically get a marriage certificate once you register. There may be a fee involved. As far as I know there is no photograph requirement.
 
I had a marriage Certificate issued but it got lost in mail. Now I will have to go there and have it re-issued. They say we need to be in person for this.

So thats the reason I thought whether I could get it issued from Bombay. Is it possible.
 
If your marriage certificate was issued and lost in mail, you can request another copy without doing anything else. You will have to take the trouble to visit the city where you got married. If you have any friends/relatives there, they cal help too.
I don't think any government entity in Bombay has the authority to issue a marriage certificate for a marriage that took place outside their jurisdiction.
 
Marriage Certificate

Marriage certificate need not necessarily be obtained from the place where the marriage took place.

It can be obtained from the place where you live. I obtained mine
from the place where I live, even though my marriage took place in another city.

First option would be, If you have a copy of the certificate, then you can request the authorities to issue a duplicate, from the place where it was issued.

Second option would be to try and get it in Bombay, for which you have to get your marriage registered, just as suggested in the other post.
 
This post.

In case you decide to take a fresh marriage certificate from Bombay, nkm-oct23 has listed the normal procedure.

As I said earlier, the Registrar or Sub-registrar of marriages in Bombay would register your marriage based on the proof you produce, and issue a Certificate of Marriage.

You have to consider the time it takes etc...
