Marriage Certificate Apostille in Shillong
In Shillong, most weddings take place in a Presbyterian, Catholic or other church, and many follow Khasi customs as well. When a spouse moves to the UK, Australia or the Gulf, the question is which paper to legalise. The answer is a registered marriage certificate – and we can get it apostilled by MEA from Delhi.

A marriage certificate apostille in Shillong is MEA’s authentication of a registered marriage certificate from East Khasi Hills – for church weddings under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, or civil marriages under the Special Marriage Act. INFINITYGRO completes notary, SDM and MEA in New Delhi in about 2–3 working days for ₹1,000–₹1,500 per certificate plus courier.
Christian marriage certificates in Shillong – what MEA needs
Under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, a licensed minister solemnises the marriage and issues a certificate, and the record is sent on to the government registrar. In Shillong, couples usually receive their certificate from the church.
For an apostille, the safest document is a registered copy – the certificate as recorded with the registrar, or a certified copy from the registry. Send us a photo of what you have and we confirm before you courier it.
Khasi customary marriages without a church service can be registered under the Special Marriage Act to obtain an apostille-ready certificate.
Since most Shillong certificates are in English, translation is rarely needed for English-speaking countries.
