Marriage Certificate Apostille in Aurangabad
The city was officially renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in 2023, so certificates now come in two versions – the older “Aurangabad” ones and the new ones. Both can be apostilled, and neither needs to be reissued. Courier yours to our Delhi office and receive it back with the MEA apostille.

A marriage certificate apostille in Aurangabad works for certificates issued under either city name – Aurangabad or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – by the municipal corporation, cantonment, Waluj or a panchayat. INFINITYGRO completes notary, SDM and MEA stages in New Delhi in about 2–3 working days for ₹1,000–₹1,500 per certificate plus courier.
Aurangabad or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – does the name matter?
No. The apostille authenticates the signature of the registrar, not the name of the city. Certificates printed before the 2023 rename say Aurangabad; newer ones carry Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. MEA apostilles both without asking for a fresh certificate.
What matters is that the document is a signed registration certificate from the corporation, the cantonment, an industrial-area council like Waluj, or a village panchayat in Marathwada.
If your passport shows “Aurangabad” as place of birth and the certificate shows the new name, embassies generally understand – an explanatory note can be added if asked.
Need a duplicate under the new name? Not required for the apostille – only if your embassy specifically asks.
