Frequently Asked Questions

A civil registration of your marriage before a Marriage Officer. It needs no ceremony, no priest and no religious formality — what it needs is correct paperwork, witnesses, and an appearance before the registrar. The certificate it produces is a government record of your marriage.

Two adults who are both of legal marriageable age and free to marry — meaning neither is already married. We check your identity and age documents against what your registrar actually accepts before anything is filed, because a document the office refuses on the day is the most common reason an application comes back.

No. A court registration stands on its own and is the document institutions ask for. If you would like a ceremony as well, that is a different service rather than a requirement of this one.

Which office applies is decided by where you live, and the residence proof each office wants is not identical. Tell us where both of you currently stay and we will tell you which registrar your application goes to before you travel anywhere.

Aadhaar for both of you, passport photographs, age proof such as a 10th certificate or birth certificate, and two witnesses each carrying photo identity and an address proof. You are given the exact list for your office before you travel, not a generic one.

It can be, and it is worth raising before the appointment rather than at the counter. A mismatch between your Aadhaar and your age proof is usually fixable in advance; discovered on the day, it is a refusal and a second trip.

No. Any two adults who carry photo identity and an address proof and who attend in person. They do not need to be related to either of you.

Say so on the call. Most gaps have an accepted alternative, and the ones that do not are better known about a week early than on the morning of the appointment.

It depends on the route rather than on how quickly the paperwork is done. A marriage under the Special Marriage Act carries a 30-day public notice period, so it runs to roughly 30–45 days; the Arya Samaj route is solemnised the same day and registered afterwards. We set out both on the call and tell you which one your circumstances actually allow.

A priority service introduced by the Revenue Department of the Delhi government in April 2014. The registration is taken up on priority and the certificate is issued within twenty-four hours, on payment of the tatkal fee.

Yes. Both of you appear in person before the Marriage Officer, and so do both witnesses. Nobody can sign on your behalf, and no part of the appearance can be done for you.

There are two figures: the fee the registrar charges, which is theirs and not ours, and our fee, which depends on which service you need. You are told both on the first call, before any work starts. We do not print a number here and revise it when you arrive.

Nothing is posted to a residential address. Where a notice procedure applies to your route, we explain in advance exactly what is published and where, so you know before you commit rather than afterwards.

How notice works by route →

Only the people working on your file. Documents are not circulated, not shown to anyone outside the process, and not kept for longer than the work requires.

Privacy Policy →

Nothing is confirmed or discussed — not that you are a client, not that a file exists. Confidentiality here is part of the work rather than a favour, and that applies to family as much as to anyone else.

By its registration number. Anyone holding the number can check it against the register from this site, and the check returns only whether the certificate is on record — never your names or any other detail.

A certified copy comes from the office that issued the original. Call us with the registration number and the year and we will tell you what that particular office requires, which is not the same everywhere.

Nothing is compulsory. Most couples then update a passport, bank records, insurance nominations or a name — each of those accepts the certificate as it stands, and we can tell you the order that causes the least trouble.

A “same-day marriage” is usually done through the Arya Samaj route (ceremony plus registration), which can be completed the same day. A court marriage strictly under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 requires a mandatory 30-day notice period, so it cannot be finished in a single day. We explain both options clearly and recommend the fastest legal path for your situation.

Under the Special Marriage Act, the Marriage Officer publishes a public notice of your intended marriage and waits 30 days for any objections before solemnising it. This is why a pure Special Marriage Act court marriage takes about 30–45 days, while the Arya Samaj route is same-day.

Tatkal is a fast-track service to obtain your government marriage certificate on an urgent basis (often within about 24 hours) once the marriage is solemnised and eligible for registration. We assist with tatkal certificate processing and verification.

Fastest option: same-day, via an Arya Samaj marriage followed by registration. Standard court marriage under the Special Marriage Act takes roughly 30–45 days because of the notice period. Tell us your timeline and we will suggest the quickest legal option.

Yes — as long as it is properly solemnised (for example, an Arya Samaj ceremony) and then registered with the authorities, the marriage is fully legal and the certificate is valid everywhere, including for visa, passport and bank purposes.

Age proof and photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, voter ID), residence proof, passport-size photographs of both partners, and witnesses with valid ID. We share the exact checklist upfront so there are no delays.

Yes. We maintain 100% privacy throughout the process and provide 24×7 support. You can reach us on WhatsApp at any time to discuss your case discreetly.

Arya Samaj marriage is a legally recognised marriage solemnised according to Vedic rituals at an Arya Samaj Mandir. It is valid under the Arya Marriage Validation Act, 1937, and is popular because the ceremony can usually be completed the same day.

Yes. An Arya Samaj marriage is legally valid. To make it official for all government purposes, you then register it under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and receive a government marriage certificate. We handle both the ceremony and the registration for you.

In most cases, yes. The Arya Samaj ceremony can often be completed within a few hours on the same day, and we arrange the pandit, venue and witnesses so the process is quick and hassle-free across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.

Typically: age/date-of-birth proof (Aadhaar, PAN, 10th certificate or passport), residence and photo ID for both partners, passport-size photographs, and two witnesses with valid ID. Exact requirements can vary, so we confirm your document list before the ceremony.

As per Indian law, the bride must be at least 18 years old and the groom at least 21 years old. Both partners must be marrying of their own free will.

You receive an Arya Samaj marriage certificate on the same day of the ceremony. For a legally recognised government certificate, we then complete the registration under the Hindu Marriage Act on your behalf.

Arya Samaj marriage is intended for those following Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or Jain faiths. If one partner belongs to a different religion, they may undergo a Shuddhi (conversion) ceremony, or you can instead marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which allows inter-religion marriage without conversion. We will advise the best route for your case.

Two witnesses with valid government ID are required. If you do not have witnesses available, let us know in advance and we will guide you.

Yes, inter-caste marriage is completely legal in India. No conversion is required. If both partners are Hindu, you can marry under the Hindu Marriage Act; you may also marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which applies regardless of caste.

Inter-religion marriage is legal, and you do not have to change your religion. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 lets couples of different religions marry while keeping their own faith. Conversion is optional, not mandatory.

Most inter-religion and many inter-caste couples marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, a secular law that allows marriage without conversion. We assess your situation and register your marriage under the most suitable Act.

Yes. Any two adults — bride 18+ and groom 21+ — can legally marry of their own free will without parental consent. Your marriage and certificate are legally valid independent of family approval.

Under the Special Marriage Act there is a 30-day public notice period before solemnisation, so the process usually takes about 30–45 days. If you need a faster option, we will discuss the alternatives available for your case.

Yes. Once legally married, your marriage is fully protected under law. Courts have consistently upheld the right of consenting adults to marry, and couples facing threats can seek police protection. We guide you on documentation that supports your legal standing.

Under schemes such as the Dr. Ambedkar Scheme for Social Integration through Inter-Caste Marriages, eligible couples (typically where one partner belongs to a Scheduled Caste) may qualify for a financial incentive, subject to current government rules and conditions. We can point you to the applicable scheme details.
