Bhopal Municipal Corporation or the Collectorate – where your certificate came from
Madhya Pradesh made marriage registration compulsory in 2008, and in cities the job went to the municipal bodies. In Bhopal, couples register at the Bhopal Municipal Corporation zone office for their ward, with photographs, age proof and witnesses, and receive a Hindi certificate signed by the registrar.
Inter-faith and civil marriages under the Special Marriage Act are handled at the Collectorate by the Marriage Officer.
Old Bhopal has many Muslim families with Nikahnamas from a Kazi. For an apostille, we generally advise registering the marriage with the corporation as well, so you hold a state certificate.
Panchayat certificates from villages around Bhopal, Sehore or Raisen are equally valid.
