Hindu, civil or church – which Ranchi certificate do you hold?
Hindu marriages are registered at the district registry in Ranchi; the couple applies with photographs, witness IDs and the invitation and receives a signed certificate.
Civil and inter-faith marriages go before the Marriage Officer under the Special Marriage Act after a 30-day notice. That certificate is ready for apostille as soon as you receive it.
Christian marriages, common in Ranchi, are solemnised by a licensed minister under the Indian Christian Marriage Act. The church issues a certificate and the record is sent to the registrar. Send us a photo of yours – we confirm whether it can go straight to apostille or needs a certified registry copy first.
Sarna or customary marriages without any certificate can be registered under the Special Marriage Act or as per local rules before an apostille.
