NRI marriage: what it is and who it is for

If one or both partners are an NRI (Non-Resident Indian), OCI holder or foreign national, the marriage in India is usually registered under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. This requires some additional documentation and planning — such as a passport, visa and single-status proof — which Legal Space Services manages from start to finish.

Documents required

  • Valid passport and visa (for both the foreign national and the NRI)
  • Single-status / no-impediment certificate (from the embassy or home country)
  • Birth / age proof
  • Address proof (India & abroad)
  • Passport-size photographs
  • 3 witnesses with ID proof
Foreign documents usually require an apostille or embassy attestation. We plan this entire process and its timeline in advance so that everything runs smoothly during your visit to India.

Process

  1. Consultation and document planning around your travel dates.
  2. Notice under Special Marriage Act (30-day period).
  3. Marriage and signing in the presence of 3 witnesses.
  4. Marriage certificate plus apostille / attestation, if it is to be used abroad.

Uses of the certificate

  • Spouse / dependent visa aur immigration.
  • Recognition of the marriage abroad.
  • Joint accounts, insurance, name change etc.
