A marriage certificate apostille in Mizoram is completed in New Delhi through a notary, the SDM and the Ministry of External Affairs, in about 2–3 working days after the certificate arrives, for ₹1,000–₹1,500 plus courier. Mizo customary marriages are governed by the Mizo Marriage, Divorce and Inheritance of Property Act, 2014; church weddings by the Indian Christian Marriage Act. MEA needs the government registration certificate.

Mizo customary law, church weddings and the government certificate
Mizoram has its own statute for Mizo customary marriages – the Mizo Marriage, Divorce and Inheritance of Property Act, 2014 – while church weddings are solemnised under the Indian Christian Marriage Act. Couples marrying outside these, or across communities, use the Special Marriage Act.
For the apostille, MEA relies on a certificate issued and signed by a government registrar. A church certificate or a village council record is an important document in its own right, but it should be backed by the registrar's certificate before it goes to Delhi.
Most Mizoram certificates are in English, which makes them straightforward for English-speaking destinations.
