For marriage under the Special Marriage Act in Ghaziabad, you have to give the proof of residence within 30 days before filing the application. You are working in Allahabad and have an Aadhaar card with your address being from Ghaziabad. Thus you can show utilities bills as well as the rent agreement. A domicile certificate is not essential; you just need to produce any document valid for your address. So make sure that you get all the documents in place required by the marriage registrar.

At least one of the parties under the Special Marriage Act must have been a resident in the jurisdiction for at least 30 days prior to making the application. You are working in Allahabad but you want to apply in Ghaziabad, so you have to give proof that you have been staying in Ghaziabad for that period. Although not mandated to carry an Aadhaar card, a domicile certificate with rental or utility bills showing the voter ID with your Ghaziabad address should suffice for purposes of identification if not for the requirement of the actual address.

Sir, you can apply under the Special Marriage Act in Ghaziabad without a Domicile Certificate provided that you or your spouses have resided in Ghaziabad for at least 30 days. Moreover, aadhaar card with Ghaziabad address is sufficient residence proof. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
