Registration in Arunachal

Customary marriages and the government certificate

Arunachal Pradesh is home to more than two dozen major tribes – Adi, Nyishi, Apatani, Monpa, Galo and many more – each with its own marriage customs, recognised by village and community councils.

Foreign authorities and MEA, however, rely on a certificate issued by a government registrar. Couples who married by custom register the marriage with the district registrar, or under the Special Marriage Act with the Marriage Officer, to get that certificate.

Certificates are generally issued in English, so translation is rarely needed for English-speaking destinations.
