What documents are required to marry a foreign partner?

You can marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Both partners must provide valid passports, birth certificates, single-status affidavits, address proofs, and visa copies. The process usually takes 30–45 days, including the mandatory 30-day public notice. The marriage can be registered in India at the Marriage Registrar Office where one of you has resided for at least 30 days. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
