Sub-Registrar certificates in Vizag and the 2002 Act
Andhra Pradesh made registration compulsory through its 2002 Act. In Visakhapatnam, couples register with the Sub-Registrar for the area – Dwaraka Nagar, Madhurawada, Gajuwaka, Pendurthi – after booking a slot, with the invitation, photographs and three witnesses.
Steel Plant and Naval Dockyard families often live in township quarters, but registration is still with the state Sub-Registrar, not the employer.
A few older certificates were issued by the gram panchayat secretary in villages now absorbed into Greater Visakhapatnam; those remain valid for the apostille.
Seafarer on board? Your spouse can send the certificate alone – both signatures are not required for the apostille.
