Marriage Certificate Apostille in Bengaluru
In Bengaluru a marriage is registered at a Sub-Registrar office, not at BBMP – and that certificate, Kannada or English, is what travels abroad with you. Courier it to our Delhi office from Whitefield, Koramangala or Yelahanka and receive it back carrying the MEA apostille.

A marriage certificate apostille in Bengaluru legalises the certificate issued by the Sub-Registrar (Registrar of Marriages) under Karnataka law or the Hindu Marriage Act. 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. US H-4, Canadian spousal and Irish dependant visas are the most common uses from Bengaluru.
Sub-Registrar, not BBMP – where Bengaluru marriages are recorded
Unlike Mumbai or Delhi, Karnataka records marriages through the Department of Stamps and Registration. You book a slot online, appear at the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar office – Jayanagar, Shivajinagar, Varthur, Begur and so on – with witnesses, photographs and the wedding invitation, and receive a marriage registration certificate signed by the Sub-Registrar.
Inter-faith or civil marriages are solemnised before the district Marriage Officer under the Special Marriage Act; that certificate is equally fine for apostille.
Old certificates that still say “Bangalore” are not a problem. MEA does not re-check the city name; it confirms the signature through the attestation chain.
Need a duplicate? A certified copy from the same Sub-Registrar office can be apostilled just like the original.

Appointment slip
The Kaveri appointment or receipt is not the certificate; collect the signed certificate first.
Gazetted-officer copy
A photocopy attested by a gazetted officer cannot be apostilled – only the registrar’s original or certified copy.
Wedding invite mismatch
If the invitation spells a name differently, MEA does not mind; some embassies might, so check passports.
