Documents required for Marriage Registration

in Delhi
A checklist of documents required for marriage registration in Delhi is different in every zone.
Although, Delhi govt. published a checklist on its website, but the same is not much useful for
the applicant as different criteria and documents are fixed by every ADM and marriage
registration form is also different in every office. This is very surprising but a reality.

With my experience of dealing in some offices of different zones, basic documents which every
ADM demands for marriage registration are given below:
1. Application form. It is better to collect an original application form from the concerned
office of ADM. Although, Delhi Govt. has floated a website which provides facility of online
marriage registration. But said facility is nothing more than a wastage of time. No ADM
office doing a registration on the basis of online application. They have their own forms and
formalities.
Now, Aadhar no. / Acknowledgment no. of Aadhar application is mandatory.
2. Residence proof of any one party presently residing in the Jurisdiction of concerned ADM
office. Admissible proofs are Ration Card/ Election Card/ Passport. They will not accept any
other kind of proof. Residence proof of other party is also required for registration & the same
may or may not fall under the jurisdiction of ADM office. A copy of proofs to be attested by the
Gazetted officer Rank-I with his/her clear stamp containing name, designation, complete office
address, date of attestation, official phone no.
3. Date of Birth proof of both the parties. Admissible proofs are Birth Certificate/
Matriculation Certificate only. A copy of proof to be attested by the Gazetted officer Rank-I with
his/her clear stamp containing name, designation, complete office address, date of attestation,
official phone no.
4. Three (3) passport size photographs of both parties. The same should be pasted on one
plain page and to be crossed attested by the Gazetted officer Rank-I with his/her clear stamp
containing name, designation, complete office address, date of attestation, official phone no.
5. One (1) post card size marriage photograph. The same should be pasted on one plain
page and to be crossed attested by the Gazetted officer Rank-I with his/her clear stamp
containing name, designation, complete office address, date of attestation, official phone no.
6. Marriage Invitation Card in original.
7. Affidavits from both the parties separately. Affidavits to be printed on Rs. 10 non-judicial
stamp paper and to be attested by the Notary public with Rs. 5 notary stamp. Both attested
affidavits to be filed in original with application. For a language of affidavit, one can refer
instruction part of an application form collected from the concerned ADM office.
