Marriage Registration in Guwahati: the process in Assam
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Guwahati follow Assam's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Hindu/Buddhist/Sikh/Jain) and the Special Marriage Act, 1954 (civil/inter-faith). Assam follows the central Acts (no separate compulsory state statute), with registration administered via the Revenue & Disaster Management Department through Sub-Registrars/Marriage Officers.
How marriage registration works in Assam
- Register/log in on Sewa Setu or RTPS using mobile number and OTP
- Fill the marriage registration application and select the applicable Act
- Upload scanned supporting documents
- Pay the prescribed fees online and obtain the acknowledgement
- Application is verified; for SMA a 30-day public notice is published for objections
- Book an appointment via the portal once approved
- Both parties (and witnesses) appear before the Marriage Officer; the marriage is registered and the certificate issued/downloaded
Documents required in Assam
- ID proof of bride and groom (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID or Passport)
- Address proof (Voter ID, Passport, bank passbook or Aadhaar)
- Age/DOB proof (birth certificate or HSLC admit card/certificate)
- Passport-size photographs of both parties
- For solemnised marriages, marriage invitation/proof; for intended marriages, the marriage-notice template
- ID proofs of witnesses
- Divorce decree or death certificate of prior spouse, if applicable
Good to know in Assam: Physical presence of the couple and witnesses is mandatory. SMA involves a 30-day objection window for inter-faith/civil marriages. Fees and the portal flow change periodically; the BTAD region has a separate service listing. Confirm on Sewa Setu.

Marriage Registration FAQs
What's the difference between Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act registration?
The Hindu Marriage Act applies when both spouses are Hindu, Sikh, Jain or Buddhist and are already married. The Special Marriage Act applies to inter-faith marriages or where you want a civil marriage — it needs a 30-day notice period before registration.
Do both partners need to be present?
Yes. Both spouses must appear before the registrar on the appointment day, along with the required witnesses, to sign the register.
Is a marriage certificate mandatory?
It is the only legal proof of marriage and is required for visas, passports, name changes and most financial and legal processes. Several states have also made registration compulsory.
