Frequently Asked Questions — Court Marriage in Delhi
Which SDM office handles court marriage in Delhi?
It depends on where you reside. Delhi has several SDM offices — Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Saket, Karkardooma, Rohini and Dwarka — and your notice must be filed at the office covering your area of residence. We confirm the correct office before filing.
How long does court marriage take in Delhi?
Under the Special Marriage Act the mandatory 30-day notice applies, so a fresh civil marriage takes a little over a month. An already-solemnised Hindu marriage registered under the Hindu Marriage Act in Delhi can be much faster.
Can NRIs register their marriage in Delhi?
Yes. Delhi is a common choice for NRI couples because the certificate issued here is widely accepted abroad. We arrange Power of Attorney, attestation and apostille where the certificate will be used overseas.
What residence proof is accepted in Delhi?
Aadhaar, voter ID, passport, utility bills or a rent agreement showing a Delhi address are generally accepted to establish 30-day residence and the correct SDM jurisdiction.
