Raipur, Bhilai or a village panchayat – the certificate MEA accepts
Chhattisgarh requires every marriage to be registered. In Raipur the Municipal Corporation zone offices register marriages within city limits; in Nava Raipur and surrounding villages, it may be a panchayat or nagar panchayat registrar.
Many Raipur couples actually work in Bhilai or Durg and register there. Those corporation certificates are equally acceptable.
A community-society or temple certificate records the ceremony but is not a state document. Register the marriage to obtain a certificate MEA can apostille.
Collectorate (Special Marriage Act) certificates from Raipur are also apostilled through the same route.
