Which documents can a Nepali citizen get in India?
My father came to India in 1998 and married my mother in 2003. Since then, he has been continuously residing in India. He is a Nepali citizen by birth but has been unable to obtain any Indian documents. The local authorities have informed us that a marriage certificate cannot be issued. What documents can he legally apply for offline in this situation?
Dear Client, A Nepali citizen can legally reside and work in India subject to the applicable laws. However, marrying an Indian citizen or residing in India for many years does not automatically confer Indian citizenship or entitle him to Indian identity documents such as Aadhaar or a voter ID. Depending on his eligibility, he may be able to obtain documents required for lawful residence or other purposes from the competent authorities. It is advisable to approach the local authorities with all available identity and residence documents to determine what he is eligible for. Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further queries or need assistance.
Your father should first approach the concerned authorities to determine his legal status and the documents he is eligible to obtain based on his nationality and residence in India. Since he is a Nepali citizen by birth, the applicable legal provisions and documentation requirements will depend on his immigration and residency status. Consult a lawyer experienced in citizenship and immigration matters for better course of action. For further legal assistance contat us on our helpline number.
