• Typing mistake in Marriage Certificate

I got Marriage Certificate Issued from Tis Hazari just 2 days back, There is a minor mistake in my wife's address , She is from Faridabad, address in Marriage Certificate says city Faridabad, state Delhi but then pin code is also correct.

So everything is correct in address (like house number, city, pincode) but somehow state mentioned is Delhi rather than Haryana, though in all the documents we attached state mentioned was Haryana only. 

If someone could guide me with detailed process to get it rectified

1. you should file a rectification application along with requisite document.

2. no need to pay any fee because it is a clerical mistake and registrar is bound to correct it.

The marriage certificate draft would be shown to you by the office of the registrar before finalising the certificate.

Any corrections or amendments can be made at that time itself.

Hope you have not utilised the opportunity.

However since this error is not yor fault, you can point out this error to the authorities by an application and can get it rectified

Approach the authorities once again with an application pointing out the error and also provide the copies of the documents proving the correct location to enable correction.

Faridabad is in Haryana, not Delhi. Such typographical mistakes become major bottlenecks in the long run, so apply to the marriage registrar to rectify the error by issuing a fresh certificate.
