Purpose and scope

The Special Marriage Others, Certified Copy, Request: Citizen’s Portal User Manual is procedural guidance from the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps. It is relevant to a citizen who needs a copy of a marriage extract. The supplied text does not set out any property registration process, land right, fee or payment rate, so a property buyer or owner is affected only if a marriage extract is needed for their own documentation.

The title refers to special marriages and other marriage types. One instruction refers to a Hindu Marriage Extract, while the portal also provides a drop down menu for selecting the marriage type. Applicants should therefore select the marriage category that matches the record they are searching for.

Applying through the Citizen’s Portal

The Citizen’s Portal process begins after logging in with a user name and password. The main steps are:

  • Open Registration, select Marriage registration, then choose Copy of Marriage Extract and Apply online.
  • Select the marriage type from the drop down menu.
  • Search either registration wise or name wise.
  • Enter the available search criteria and select Search.
  • Review the marriage list and choose Apply extract for the required record.

The selected record displays the registration number, marriage type, marriage registration date, husband’s name, wife’s name and registered office.

Applicant details and submission

The marriage extract application requires the applicant to select who is applying. Applicant details may then be populated by the portal. The applicant must provide contact details, address details and other requested details before selecting Apply Extract.

The portal opens an acknowledgement copy. The applicant may edit the application if changes are required, proceed to payment, reset entered fields or return to an earlier page. The manual states that the copy of the extract is sent to the registered email address.

Payment and request status

The payment process asks for the applicant type, applicant name and office name. Address details at this stage are optional. The applicant enters contact information, while the application type, service type and application number are populated automatically.

After submission, the applicant selects Pay now, chooses online or offline payment and submits the selection. Online payment requires confirmation, acceptance of the terms and conditions, and completion through the selected bank’s payment gateway.

To check progress, the applicant can open Registration, select Marriage registration, choose Copy of Marriage Extract and then open Request List.
