Dear Client, yes, a marriage that took place in 1990 can generally still be registered and a marriage certificate can be obtained. You should apply before the Marriage Registrar having jurisdiction over the place of marriage or their current residence, as permitted by the applicable rules. They will typically need identity and address proof, photographs, and evidence or witnesses to establish that the marriage took place. The fact that the marriage occurred many years ago does not prevent registration. The exact documents and procedure should be confirmed with the local Marriage Registrar in Rajkot. Please reach out if you have any more queries. Thank you.

To obtain a marriage certificate for a marriage performed in Rajkot in 1990, visit the local marriage registrar’s office or the court where the marriage was registered. If it wasn’t registered, you can file a declaration petition in court to get the marriage legally recognized and obtain the certificate.
