How to get Live in relationship certificate?
My question is regarding the process of obtaining a live-in relationship certificate. What is the minimum legal age required for both partners to obtain such a certificate? What is the complete procedure, and approximately how much do advocates generally charge for completing the entire process?
Dear Client, India doesn’t really have a single, uniform live in relationship certificate law as such. But the Domestic Violence Act does recognize relationships that look like this, in a broader sense. Usually, both partners need to be adults, meaning, at least 18 years. The overall procedure is usually handled by preparing a notarized affidavit, which is then submitted before an Executive Magistrate or a Notary Public. Some states, like Uttarakhand, may ask for mandatory registration, and that part can vary. As for advocate fees, it can land anywhere around ₹2,000 to ₹10,000, depending on where you are, and how complex the matter feels. Please do check with a local advocate so the state specific requirement are not missed. Thank you for reaching out to Prime Legal.
If both partners are legally eligible adults and voluntarily choose to live together, they may execute documents as permitted under applicable law. There is no uniform nationwide procedure or statutory fee for a live-in relationship certificate. Advocate's fees vary depending on the city and complexity of the work. Verify the legal position applicable in your State before proceeding. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
