Just married in Patiala? Register first, then apostille
Couples who marry shortly before a partner’s departure abroad often skip registration in the rush. For a partner visa, Australia and New Zealand want official proof, so the first step is to register the marriage through the Sewa Kendra in your sub-division – Patiala, Rajpura, Nabha or Samana.
The Registrar of Marriages issues a signed certificate. That certificate, not the gurdwara or marriage-palace paper, is what MEA apostilles.
If you married in another district – say Sangrur or Fatehgarh Sahib – register there; the apostille route is the same.
Only one spouse needs to send the certificate; the partner abroad does not have to return.
