Already had a beautiful church wedding in Mumbai? Make it legally binding with expert assistance from Mumbai Court Marriage.
Celebrating your union in a church is a blessed and joyous occasion. However, the marriage certificate issued by the church often isn't sufficient for legal and governmental purposes in India. To have your marriage recognized by the law for visas, passports, inheritance, and other official matters, you must register it with the government.
At Mumbai Court Marriage, we specialize in simplifying the legal registration process for Christian couples. We ensure your religious union is also your legal union, providing you with the government-issued marriage certificate you need.
Why is Legal Registration of Your Christian Marriage Essential?
A church marriage is spiritually binding, but a legal registration makes it officially valid in the eyes of the Indian government. This is crucial for:
Passport & Visa Applications: Especially for spouse visas and immigration.
Legal Proof: For claiming insurance, inheritance, and property rights.
Official Records: For changing your maiden name, updating bank details, and other legal formalities.
Government Recognition: As irrefutable proof of your marital status across India.
