Call +91 82954 13475Marriage registration in Gurgaon proceeds under either the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, for marriages already solemnised according to religious ceremony, or the Special Marriage Act, 1954, for inter-faith couples or those choosing a civil marriage. We handle the entire process — document preparation, appointment scheduling, and representation before the Sub-Registrar's office — so the certificate is issued correctly the first time.
Hindu Marriage Act vs Special Marriage Act
Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
Applies where the marriage has already been solemnised through a religious ceremony between two Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs. Registration here confirms and records a marriage that has already legally taken place, typically requiring proof of the ceremony alongside identity and residence documents.
Special Marriage Act, 1954
Applies to inter-faith couples, couples who prefer a civil ceremony without religious rites, or where one or both parties are not Hindu. This route requires a 30-day public notice period before the marriage can be solemnised and registered, and involves a distinct procedural sequence from the Hindu Marriage Act route.
Documents Typically Required
- Age and identity proof for both parties (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, or Voter ID).
- Residence proof for at least one party in the district of registration.
- Passport-size photographs of both parties, and joint photographs from the wedding ceremony where applicable.
- Marriage invitation card, if available, as supporting evidence of the ceremony.
- Two witnesses with their own identity proof, present at the time of registration.
- Divorce decree or death certificate of a former spouse, where either party has been previously married.
