• Foreign spouse for UCC Uttarakhand Marriage Certificate online

Hi,
I'm a British citizen going to marry my Indian fiancé in Uttarakhand, under a Hindu ceremony. I want to get a marriage certificate soon as possible in order to apply for a spouse visa for my wife. Is the Tatkal marriage certificate option on the new Uttarakhand UCC website open to us? What extra documents do I as a foreigner need? The FAQ mentions passport, but is there anything extra? 
Would my wife's login using her Aadhar card enough to register or do I need a login as well?

Thanks

As a British citizen marrying an Indian national under a Hindu ceremony in Uttarakhand, you are eligible to register your marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Tatkal marriage certificate option on the Uttarakhand UCC portal may be available to expedite the process, but its applicability to foreign nationals should be confirmed with the local marriage registrar.

As a foreign national, you will be required to provide additional documentation beyond a passport. This may include:


  1. Apostilled Birth Certificate (if required by the local authority).

  2. Valid Indian Visa (Tourist, OCI, or any other valid category).

  3. No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the British High Commission (sometimes required by local authorities).

  4. Affidavit of Marital Status stating that you are unmarried and eligible to marry under Indian law.

  5. Proof of Address in your home country and, if applicable, in India.

Your fiancée may use her Aadhaar-linked login to register the marriage application, but it is advisable to check whether a separate login for you as the foreign spouse is required. Additionally, both parties must be physically present before the marriage registrar, along with three witnesses, for verification and biometric authentication.

Since marriage registration requirements can vary, it is strongly recommended that you visit the local Sub-Registrar’s Office in advance to confirm the exact procedural requirements and avoid any last-minute complications in securing the marriage certificate necessary for your spouse visa application.

marriage between a British citizen and an Indian can be registered under the Hindu Marriage Act in Uttarakhand, but the British citizen would need to provide a "No Objection Certificate" from the British embassy or consulate, proving their marital status and willingness to marry under Indian law; essentially, one party must be considered a Hindu domiciled in India for the Act to apply fully. 

The marriage can be registered with the appropriate marriage registrar in Uttarakhand by following the standard procedures for Hindu marriages. 

 

In case of any emergency or urgent requirement of marriage Certificate, the government of India has the option for applying for tatkal Marriage registration

The documents required for tatkal marriage registration  will include the following:

  • Age Proof – Age proof can be anything from your Aadhar card to your pan card. It should be a government authorized document along with your date of birth.
  • Address Proof – address Proof should be either Wife or Husband. It depends on the area SDM being approached.
  • Marriage Registration Application self-attested by the couple.
  • An Affidavit is given by the couple separately stating the place of marriage, date of marriage, their DOB.
  • Passport size Photographs -both husband and wife
  • Invitation Card of the wedding/Marriage
  • Witness ID proof
  • Witness passport size photographs
  • Marriage photographs which include important ceremonies like- Varmala, Mag Tikka, Pherras, Mangal -Sutra.
  • In case of Divorce from previous marriage, Divorce Decree.
  • In the case of Death of the previous spouse then Municipal Death Certificate.

Tatkal Procedure is as quick as it can be. But it normally takes around 1-3 days to obtain the tatkal marriage certificate.

For other procedural details you may better contact a local consultant to have a proper and correct information.
