Foreigner Marriage Registration Process in Agra

Eligibility Criteria for Foreign Nationals:
• Both parties must be of legal age: The bride must be at least 18 years old, and the groom must be at least 21 years old.
• Both parties must be legally unmarried.
• Foreign nationals must provide proof of their nationality and legal status in India (valid passport, visa, and other required documents).

Required Documents for Foreigners:
• Passport: Copy of the passport of both parties.
• Visa: A valid Indian visa for the foreign spouse.
• Proof of Address: Address proof in India (e.g., Aadhar card, utility bill, rental agreement, etc.)
• Affidavit of Single Status: An affidavit stating that the foreign national is unmarried. This affidavit should be notarized in their home country or at the embassy in India.
• Passport-sized Photographs: Recent photographs of both parties.
• Witnesses: At least two witnesses who are over the age of 18 and are legally eligible to sign the marriage register.

Steps to Register a Foreigner Marriage:
• Step 1: Documentation Submission: Submit all the required documents to the local marriage registrar's office in Agra. Our team will assist you in completing and submitting the necessary paperwork.
• Step 2: Notice of Intended Marriage: After the submission, the marriage registrar will issue a notice of intended marriage. This notice will be displayed in the office for 30 days. During this period, objections can be raised by any party.
• Step 3: Marriage Registration: After the 30-day notice period, if no objections are raised, you can proceed with the marriage registration. Both parties, along with two witnesses, will appear before the marriage registrar.
• Step 4: Marriage Certificate: Once the marriage registration is complete, the couple will be issued an official marriage certificate. This certificate is legally valid and recognized worldwide.

Marriage Under Special Marriage Act:
• Foreign nationals wishing to marry in India usually marry under the Special Marriage Act (SMA), 1954, which allows for a civil marriage without the need for religious ceremonies.
• This Act is especially useful for interfaith, intercaste, and foreigner marriages as it does not require the parties to follow any specific religious customs.
Why Register a Foreigner Marriage in India?
• Legally Binding: A marriage registered in India is legally recognized in India and can be used globally for various legal and administrative purposes, including name change, visa applications, and immigration processes.
• Security of Rights: Marriage registration secures both parties' legal rights, including inheritance and property rights.
• International Recognition: An Indian marriage certificate is an official document that can be used to prove the legality of your marriage in other countries.
