In today’s digital era, you can get your marriage certificate made in a jiffy without any hassle, sitting at home with just the help of your ‘Aadhaar Card’.

Aadhaar eliminates the hassle of online forms

Often people get nervous after seeing long columns of online forms and leave the work midway. This is where your Aadhar card proves to be a game-changer. Nowadays, online portals of most of the states including Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have started the facility of Aadhaar based e-KYC. This means that you just have to enter your Aadhaar number and verify the OTP, and most of your required details will be automatically filled in the form. Due to this, the scope for mistakes also remains negligible.

Keep these important documents with you before applying

Before applying online, it is mandatory for you to have these documents:

Aadhar card of both husband and wife.

For proof of age, 10th mark sheet or birth certificate of both.

Solid proof of marriage like wedding invitation card or marriage certificate obtained from temple, gurudwara, church.

A clear joint photo of husband and wife.

Two witnesses, their Aadhar cards and passport size photographs.

How to apply online for marriage certificate (Step-by-Step Guide)

Choose the right portal: First of all go to the official website of your state. For example, residents of Uttar Pradesh can visit ‘igrsup.gov.in’ and those of Delhi can visit ‘edistrict.delhigovt.nic.in’. You can also get the direct link by typing your state name and ‘Marriage Certificate Registration’ on Google.

Register: If you are new to the website, then go to ‘New User Registration’ and create your profile and login.

Start filling the form: Go to ‘Services’ section, select ‘Marriage Registration’ and click on ‘New Application’.

Auto-fill from base: Select ‘Yes’ on the option to fill the details with the help of Aadhaar in the form. Verify with OTP by entering your Aadhaar number. By doing this, most of your information will automatically appear in the form.

Documents Upload: Upload absolutely clean and clear scanned copies of all the required documents.

Deposit Fees: Finally pay the fees online and download your application receipt (Acknowledgment Slip). Keep the application number given in it safe so that the status can be tracked in future.

Pay special attention to these things for verification

Even after this process of online application is completed, one last step remains. According to the rules of many states, you have to get the physical verification done once by visiting your respective Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or Registrar office. While applying online, book a day and time of appointment as per your convenience. Reach the office on time on the appointed day with all your original documents and both the witnesses. Once your verification is successfully completed, your digital marriage certificate will be generated online, which you can easily download by logging in to the same portal.
