A marriage certificate apostille in Hyderabad is the MEA authentication of the certificate issued by your Sub-Registrar office under the Compulsory Registration of Marriages Act or the Hindu Marriage Act. INFINITYGRO processes it in New Delhi through notary, SDM and MEA in about 2–3 working days at ₹1,000–₹1,500 per certificate plus courier. It is accepted in the USA, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Australia; the UAE needs attestation.

Sub-Registrar certificates in Hyderabad and what to check before sending
In Telangana marriages are recorded by the Registration and Stamps Department. Couples book a slot online, visit the Sub-Registrar office for their area – Kukatpally, Banjara Hills, Gandhinagar, Uppal, Serilingampally and so on – with photographs, witnesses and the invitation card, and leave with a signed marriage certificate.
Couples married before Telangana was formed in 2014 may hold a certificate headed “Andhra Pradesh”. That is still a valid Indian public document; MEA apostilles it without any change of name.
Muslim marriages in Hyderabad are often recorded in a Qazi’s Nikahnama. Send us a photo first: depending on the destination, we advise whether the Nikahnama route or a Sub-Registrar registration works better.
An “Andhra Pradesh” certificate issued in Hyderabad before 2014 does not need re-issuing by Telangana for the apostille.

Preparing the marriage certificate apostille in Hyderabad for a US consulate interview
US consulates do not formally insist on an apostille for every H-4 stamping, but many employers’ immigration lawyers and later green-card stages do. Getting it done once saves a repeat later.
- Carry the apostilled original and two photocopies.
- If any part is in Telugu, attach a certified English translation.
- Keep the wedding photographs and invitation handy – officers ask for them more often than the apostille.
