Hindu, civil or church – which Ranchi certificate do you hold?

Hindu marriages are registered at the district registry in Ranchi; the couple applies with photographs, witness IDs and the invitation and receives a signed certificate.

Civil and inter-faith marriages go before the Marriage Officer under the Special Marriage Act after a 30-day notice. That certificate is ready for apostille as soon as you receive it.

Christian marriages, common in Ranchi, are solemnised by a licensed minister under the Indian Christian Marriage Act. The church issues a certificate and the record is sent to the registrar. Send us a photo of yours – we confirm whether it can go straight to apostille or needs a certified registry copy first.

Sarna or customary marriages without any certificate can be registered under the Special Marriage Act or as per local rules before an apostille.

Nurses abroad

UK and Canada care-worker families: marriage certificate apostille in Ranchi

Many Ranchi nurses move to the UK or Canada first, and their spouses follow as dependants. The visa centre usually asks for the marriage certificate early, so plan it before the job offer letter arrives:

  • Get the certificate apostilled while the nurse is still in India, if possible.
  • Ask for an English translation if any part is in Hindi.
  • Keep a colour scan – the UK and Canada portals accept uploads.
