Marriage Certificate Apostille in Thiruvananthapuram
Thiruvananthapuram is where Kerala’s secretariat sits, and many Keralites assume the state capital is the right place to legalise a marriage certificate for abroad. For an apostille, the final authority is the Ministry of External Affairs – and our Delhi route gets you there without a single visit to Statue Junction.

A marriage certificate apostille in Thiruvananthapuram authenticates the certificate issued by the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, a nearby municipality or a panchayat under the Kerala Registration of Marriages (Common) Rules. It can be done without state-level verification: INFINITYGRO completes notary, SDM and MEA in New Delhi in about 2–3 working days for ₹1,000–₹1,500 per certificate plus courier.
Do Trivandrum certificates need Kerala secretariat verification first?
Not for the route we use. Kerala, like other states, can verify documents at the state level before MEA – a path many people associate with the secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram. But the apostille itself is always issued by MEA in Delhi, and a notary plus SDM attestation in Delhi is an accepted alternative to state verification.
So your corporation certificate – from the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation zonal office or a municipality like Attingal – goes straight to us by courier.
Couples married at Kovalam resorts or beach venues are usually registered with the local panchayat (for example Vizhinjam area); those certificates are equally valid.
Old certificates on fragile paper? The corporation can issue a certified extract for the apostille.
