Church & registryMangalorean Catholic weddings and the Sub-Registrar certificate
After a church wedding at Milagres, Rosario or any parish, couples receive a parish marriage certificate. For an apostille, the stronger document is the civil registration at the Sub-Registrar office, which records the same marriage in a state register.
Hindu and Beary Muslim couples likewise register at the Sub-Registrar with photographs, ID and witnesses. The certificate is printed in Kannada or English.
If your marriage was registered years ago in Bantwal or Puttur, that Sub-Registrar’s certificate is equally fine – the apostille does not depend on where you live now.
