Why registration matters for Jalandhar NRI weddings
Punjab made marriage registration compulsory in 2012, partly to protect spouses in NRI marriages. A registered certificate is the strongest proof of the marriage for the Indian spouse and is what embassies expect.
Couples apply through the local Sewa Kendra and receive a certificate signed by the Registrar of Marriages. Sikh couples can register under the Anand Marriage Act rules.
If the NRI spouse has already flown back, the Indian spouse can still courier the certificate to us – both do not need to be present for the apostille.
Italian and Spanish spouse visas also need the certificate translated – plan that after the apostille.
Common Jalandhar issues
