Which surname appears on certificate after wife changed name?
I got married in 2018 as per Hindu rituals. I changed my wife’s surname in all her documents. Now I want to apply for a marriage certificate. Which surname will appear on the certificate—her original one or the updated one?

The name mentioned on the marriage certificate is usually the one present in the documents submitted at the time of registration. If all current documents show her new surname, the certificate will likely mention that. You can request the registrar to note the old name as “previously known as.” For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
