Documents for registering marriage in Pune.

Normal identity proof with a photo of the person (like Pan, Aadhar, Passport ) with an age proof (again passport, Aadhar, PAN or 10th class certificate) are acceptable as proof.

The real Catch is “Residence certificate”. This is quite discretionary in nature. Marriage registrar may or may not accept the evidence given by you.

Any residence proof issued by Government or public sector agency are normally acceptable – Property document, electricity bill, landline telephone bill, registered rental agreement, property tax receipt, government quarter receipt, Govt id card, Ration card are normally accepted as residence proof. Passport, Aadhar Card, LIC policy, Bank passbooks may / may not be acceptable.

Notarized rental agreements are normally NOT considered as valid residence proof. These should be registered first. Marriage register, at this discretion may accept/reject any of above proof. Sometimes a letter from employer on a company letterhead or a written certificate from a comparator is good enough.

Marriage certificate is a non partisan document. There are no two parties-hence the legal requirements are fairly flexible.
