Marriage Certificate Apostille in Kanpur
Kanpur couples often marry at an Arya Samaj mandir or a family temple, then discover abroad that a ceremony certificate is not enough. The fix is a registered marriage certificate from the Sub-Registrar – and once you have it, we add the MEA apostille in Delhi while you stay in Kanpur.

Arya Samaj, temple or court marriage – what Kanpur couples must register
An Arya Samaj mandir certificate is popular in Kanpur because the ceremony is quick and simple. But it is issued by a society, not by the state, so MEA will not apostille it. The couple takes it, with photographs and witness IDs, to the Sub-Registrar and registers the marriage.
Court marriages under the Special Marriage Act are handled by the Marriage Officer in Kanpur; that certificate is already a state document and can go straight to apostille.
After registration, check that the certificate shows both names exactly as in your passports – especially if the wife has changed her surname.
If the names differ, an apostilled affidavit of name change can travel with the certificate.
