Marriage Registration in Lucknow: the process in Uttar Pradesh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Lucknow follow Uttar Pradesh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. UP Marriage Registration Rules, 2017 (compulsory registration of marriages of UP residents) read with the personal law — Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or Special Marriage Act, 1954. Administered by the Stamp and Registration Department (Nibandhan Vibhag), UP.
How marriage registration works in Uttar Pradesh
- Open the Marriage Registration module on IGRSUP and start a new application
- Enter groom's Aadhaar and verify via OTP; details/photo auto-fetched from UIDAI
- Enter bride's Aadhaar and verify via OTP; details auto-fetched
- Fill marriage and witness details and upload scanned documents
- Pay the registration fee online
- Book an appointment at the concerned SDM/Registrar office
- Both parties and three witnesses appear in person with originals for verification
- Registrar verifies and issues the digitally generated certificate
Documents required in Uttar Pradesh
- Aadhaar cards of both spouses
- Identity proof of both spouses (small scans)
- Address proof of both spouses
- Date-of-birth proof (10th certificate / birth certificate / passport)
- Passport-size photographs of each spouse and a joint photograph
- Proof of marriage ceremony (invitation card / temple or priest certificate / photographs)
- ID proofs of two/three witnesses
- Affidavit/declaration of marriage where required
Good to know in Uttar Pradesh: Registration is compulsory for UP residents, but the certificate records (not solemnises) an existing marriage; a fresh civil marriage uses the SMA with its 30-day notice. Both spouses' Aadhaar must be linked to working mobile numbers. Some districts still allow in-person filing at the tehsil — confirm local practice.

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.
