No Name no name

This query is : Resolved
Hi,
I wanted to enquire about procuring marriage certificate. We got married in Ghaziabad on 15th Feb'2010, my wife is from Ghaziabad and I am from Delhi. Due to job requirements, we have to move out from Delhi and for last 2 years we are now staying in Mumbai. I want to know if it is possible to get marriage certificate from Mumbai or do we have to go to Delhi to get it? We got married as per Hindu norms and both of us are Hindus. My wife's maiden name is Agarwal and she is still using that name, I don't want her to change her last name. My surname is Oberoi.
Would appreciate if anyone can help me in this matter. If it is possible to get it done from Mumbai/Navi Mumbai then do let me know as we need to get this done urgently.
Regards,
Sandeep Oberoi

No. This is not possible from Mumbai or in Delhi rather you both are required to go to Gaziabad wherein the marriage had been performed. Get it through the office of registrar by completing their formalities.

yes you both should go to the office
before going to that place prepare all those documents for quick completion to submit and if any you can obtain there
Application form duly signed by both husband and wife
Documentary evidence of date of birth of parties (Matriculation Certificate / Passport / Birth Certificate) Minimum age of both parties is 21 years at the time of registration under the Special Marriage Act
Ration card of husband or wife whose area SDM has been approached for the certificate
Affidavit by both the parties stating place and date of marriage, date of birth, marital status at the time of marriage and nationality
Two passport size photographs of both the parties and one marriage photograph
Marriage invitation card, if available
If marriage was solemnized in a religious place, a certificate from the priest is required who solemnized the marriage
Affirmation that the parties are not related to each other within the prohibited degree of relationship as per Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act as the case may be
Attested copy of divorce decree/order in case of a divorcee and death certificate of spouse in case of widow/widower
In case one of the parties belong to other than Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh religions, a conversion certificate from the priest who solemnized the marriage
All documents excluding receipt should be attested by a Gazetted Officer
Verification of all the documents is carried out on the date of application and a day is fixed and communicated to the parties for registration. On the said day, both parties, along with a Gazetted Officer who attended their marriage, need to be present before the SDM. The marriage certificate under the Hindu Marriage Act is issued on the same day or within a few days.

Learned Mr.Mahesh has covered fully the requirements. But if ration card is not available, any address proof that one of you were living at that place at the time of marriage will suffice. All other things are clarified by Mr.Mahesh.
