A marriage certificate apostille in Assam is completed in New Delhi through a notary, the SDM and the Ministry of External Affairs, in about 2–3 working days after the certificate arrives, for ₹1,000–₹1,500 plus courier. Government registration certificates are accepted; since 2024, Muslim marriages in Assam are registered by government registrars rather than under the old 1935 Act. The UK, USA and Australia accept the apostille.

Three things Assam couples should check before posting
Old Kazi certificate
Certificates issued under the old 1935 system remain records of the marriage, but check whether a government registration certificate is also available – it is the easiest for MEA.
Assamese or Bengali text
The apostille is fine as issued; European destinations may want a translation.
Long courier route
Send passport copies on WhatsApp first so we can check spellings while the original travels.
How Assam registers marriages – and what changed in 2024
Most marriages in Assam are registered by the government marriage registrar of the district, under the Hindu Marriage Act, or under the Special Marriage Act for court and inter-faith marriages. These certificates carry the registrar's seal and signature and are apostilled the same way as anywhere else in India.
Muslim marriages used to be registered by Kazis under the Assam Moslem Marriages and Divorces Registration Act, 1935. In 2024 the state repealed that Act and moved registration of Muslim marriages to government registrars. For the apostille, a certificate from a government registrar is the simplest document to work with.
If your marriage was recorded only by a Kazi before 2024, send us a photo first. We will tell you whether it can go straight to MEA or whether a fresh government registration is the safer route for your destination.
