A marriage certificate apostille in Chandigarh is completed in New Delhi: notary, SDM attestation and the MEA apostille, in about 2–3 working days, for ₹1,000–₹1,500 plus courier. Chandigarh is a Union Territory, so marriages are registered with the Chandigarh Administration, not Punjab or Haryana. Canada, Australia, the UK and the USA accept the apostille.

Union Territory registration – and why Mohali and Panchkula are different
Chandigarh is a Union Territory, so a marriage registered inside the city is recorded by the Chandigarh Administration, usually through its online services and the Registrar of Marriages, and the certificate is issued in English.
Neighbouring Mohali is in Punjab and Panchkula is in Haryana. A couple who married in Mohali holds a Punjab certificate, and one from Panchkula a Haryana certificate. All three are apostilled the same way in Delhi, but knowing which authority issued yours avoids confusion on visa forms.
Anand Karaj, Hindu and court marriages are all registered and apostilled in the same way.
Canada applicants: check your IRCC checklist. Some applications accept a copy, but provincial registries, employers and courts usually ask for the apostilled original.
