How can I get a duplicate marriage certificate if lost?

In 2018, my wife and I attended an inter-caste marriage program in Sitamarhi, where we were provided a marriage certificate by Nitish Kumar. However, my wife has lost the certificate. I need a duplicate marriage certificate. Please help me.

Dear Client, To obtain a duplicate copy of the marriage certificate, file an application for the same at the sub registrar’s office, wherein the marriage was officially registered (who issued the original marriage certificate). Provide the necessary information and produce the necessary documents such as proof of marriage, ID proofs etc. Depending on the technical facilities available in your state, you can file the application either online or offline. I hope this answer helps. In case of future queries, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.

To get a duplicate marriage certificate, visit the local registrar’s office in Sitamarhi where your marriage was registered. Submit an application explaining that the original certificate was lost and provide necessary documents like your ID and marriage details. You may also need to submit an affidavit. Follow up regularly for updates. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
