Obtain marriage certificate in Punjab

 

Tehsildar is the concerned authority for issuing marriage certificates in Punjab. If Tehsildar is not available, Naib Tehsildar plays the role of a Registrar for registering the marriages under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Either party of the marriage or guardian of the bride or groom can apply for marriage registration to the Registrar of the local area in which the applicant resides.

When the application for registration of Hindu marriage is submitted to the Registrar by any one of the parities, the registrar gives notice to other party by register post. If the parents of both the parties of the guardians appear before the Registrar and if he is satisfied, he will not give any notice. When he is satisfied with the facts of marriage, the Registrar registers the marriage and the particulars are entered in the Hindu Marriage register.
