Customary marriages

From customary marriage to an apostille-ready certificate in Itanagar

Many Arunachali marriages follow the customs of the tribe – Nyishi, Adi, Apatani, Galo and others – and are recognised in the community without paperwork. Foreign embassies, however, need an official document.

The usual solution is to register the marriage under the Special Marriage Act with the Marriage Officer of the Capital Complex, which gives a government certificate that MEA can apostille.

Christian couples hold a church certificate under the Indian Christian Marriage Act; a registered copy is the safest form for the apostille.

The Inner Line Permit applies to visitors entering Arunachal, not to documents leaving it – your courier to Delhi is unaffected.
