Hi Sir,
I am facing a issue. I had registered my marriage in 2007 in Ghazipur, UP marriage registrar. At that time they gave me a certificate signed by Court Notary, but on back side of that certificate, Marriage registrar has signed and stamped. They also gave me a copy of Marriage application form filled and filed by me and the same is signed by marriage registrar.
Now, to travel to Germany, I need to appostile the marriage certificate so I need a marriage certificate signed by marriage registrar.
When I enquired the marriage registrar office to issue a duplicate (copy) of marriage certificate, he is saying that they don't have a copy of my certificate in their record. so they cann't issue a copy.
They asked us to do the re-registration.
Please tell me how to get the certificate in this situation.
Thanks in Advance.

If any marriage is registered, it will be on the records of the Registrar office. They are going to take the extract of the Record book, if you ask for a copy.
Give them a formal copy application. See what is their reply and react.
The registrar office will give any record, they will even create records on paying _________, to their expected level.

you have already Original certificate, which was signed by registrar at back side.
Registrar office rightly stated that they can provide certify copy only.

The registrar office can not refuse a copy, they are just delaying to get some money.

The certificate in your possession is original if the same is signed and stamped by Registrar of Marriages so there seems no requirement of duplicate certificate and if the same is photostate then you have a a legal right to obtain its duplicate certified copy from the same office. If denied serve a legal notice and thereafter file a civil suit or a writ before high court.
