What is the usual timeline for foreign national marriage registration?

Hi, I am seeking assistance with marriage registration under the Special Marriage Act in Delhi. The groom is an Australian citizen, and the bride’s Aadhaar address is in East Delhi. The wedding is planned for March, and I already have a No Impediment Certificate from the Australian Embassy. Please confirm whether you handle such cases and share the usual timelines.

Yes, marriage registration will be done under the Special Marriage Act in Delhi, including cases involving foreign nationals. Since you already have a No Impediment Certificate from the Australian Embassy, we can proceed with the registration. The typical process takes around 30–45 days, including document verification, the notice period, and final registration. For further legal assistance, contact us on our helpline number.
