Marriage certificates in India are issued under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, the Special Marriage Act 1954, the Indian Christian Marriage Act 1872 or state-specific compulsory-registration legislation. Each State / UT operates its own Marriage Registrar online portal; the consolidated CRS view is available through https://crsorgi.gov.in/. Couples receive a numbered certificate carrying the date and place of marriage, registration number, and registrar's signature. Verification authorities (foreign embassies for spousal visa, banks for joint accounts, employers for medical-cover updates) confirm authenticity through the issuing State Registrar's online tracker. Apostille for foreign use is processed via eSanad.
