VMC ward registrars and the Baroda-era certificates
Within city limits, marriages are registered at the VMC ward office for your area. The certificate is printed in Gujarati, with the registrar’s seal and signature, and a registration number at the top.
Families who married decades ago often hold a certificate headed Baroda Municipal Corporation. It is still a valid public document; MEA apostilles it as it is.
Weddings held in villages around Padra, Savli or Waghodia are registered at the panchayat or taluka level – also valid for an apostille.
