Kalaburagi Sub-Registrar certificates and Nikahnamas
In Kalaburagi district, marriages are registered at the Sub-Registrar office covering the venue. The certificate is signed by the Sub-Registrar and usually printed in Kannada and English.
Many Gulbarga families also hold a Nikahnama from the Qazi. For Saudi and other family visas, the registered certificate is the safer document to apostille; the Nikahnama can travel as supporting evidence.
The 2014 renaming to Kalaburagi does not affect older certificates – MEA apostilles them as they are.
Unsure whether your sponsor wants the Nikahnama or the certificate? Send both photos – we advise.

For years, Saudi family visas meant attestation plus Saudi embassy legalisation. Since Saudi Arabia joined the Apostille Convention, an MEA apostille is used instead:
- Apostille the Sub-Registrar certificate.
- Add an Arabic translation if the sponsor’s portal asks for it.
- The sponsor uploads the documents in Saudi Arabia.
