What documents are required under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, if one party is a foreign national?
Dear Client, For a marriage under the Special Marriage Act where one party is a foreign national, you will need to provide standard documents such as passports, proof of age, address proof showing 30 days’ residence in the district, passport-sized photographs, and affidavits of marital status, along with the foreigner’s valid visa, nationality proof, and a “no objection certificate” or marital status certificate from their embassy or consulate (plus divorce decree or death certificate if previously married); once these are filed with the Marriage Officer, the statutory 30-day notice is published, and if no objections arise, the marriage can be solemnized in the presence of three witnesses. I hope this answer helps, for any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You
