• Registering marriage after 40 years of wedding

We got married in the year 1979 at Chennai as per Hindu religion in a Kalyana Mandapam. At that time the marriage was not registered. Now we need to get a Marriage certificate to get Green Card at US. I know that we need to go to the Marriage registrar office to get it certified. But due to the prevailing COVID 19 situation we do not want to expose ourselves by going to the registrar office. I want to know whether any Attorney can organize a visit by the Registrar to our home at Chennai and get ourselves registered. If any of the attorney can organize this, please contact me at [deleted]

- A power of attorney can submit the application on your behalf in the office of the marriage registrar, but at the time of registration of marriage , appearance of both the parties of marriage is mandatory . 

- Further marriage registration can be done even after 40 years of wedding , after submitting the proof of marriage and other required documents.

I don't think that kind of facility is available. You can file it with the help of a lawyer and it can be registered through video conferencing or an exemption can be granted in your case.

Please apply online and pay for the registration of marriage online by booking on the website of State Government of Tamilnadu at Chennai. 

The facility you sought is available for physically handicapped or disabled individuals who cannot travel to the office of marriage registrar appointed by the State Government. 

Please follow the process online.

You contact any attorney or an advocate of this forum hailing from your hometown. 

Upon his or her terms you can engage the services for getting the said task completed. 

In the normal circumstances the registrar would visit the home for registration on an application with the compliance of necessary formalities by the applicant. 

However owing to the current pandemic situation,  it is not known whether the registrar would accept home visit.

No attorney can organize a visit by Registrar at your home. 

You'll have to be personally present at the office. 

Follow all the precautionary measures while visiting.

No possible, your personal attendance is necessary for issue of MC.


And for registration of marriage, marriage card will require which you may not have,  so you may require court direction to issue MC.

Dear Sir,

This is not the right forum for asking an advocate help directly for  for you. You may go to "Talk to a lawyer" or "Hire a lawyer" of Kaanoon.com. It is intimated that it is not the solicitation of any kind, rather the information regarding the process.
