Non-Resident Indians are Indian citizens who live in another country for the purpose of work, vacation, or business. Employees of United Nations organizations who work for the government and are assigned government-related tasks. Non-resident Indian citizens have the same rights as non-resident Indian citizens.
Non-resident Indians (NRIs) face challenges during the marriage registration process in India. The process is exhausting because it takes several days to complete. The minimum stay requirement in India is 30 days, and after that the notice must be issued and the public hearing must take place.
Due to these exhausting stages, marriage registration in India is unwanted and nearly impossible. Nepal is a desirable economically viable marriage registration destination in such cases.
Steps to Consider for marriage registration of NRIs – Non-resident Indians
Single or unmarried Certificate/Letter of No impediment
NRIs are people from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other foreign countries who choose to marry Indians who live in India.
Documents needed for the Single-Status Affidavit Recommendation
- No-record certificate
- No impediment certificate
- A single mandatory reporting declaration
- Credential of legal capacity to agree marriage, and so on Credential of Nulla Osta
A certificate of singlehood is not mentioned in the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 or the Special Marriage Act of 1954.
As a result, an individual must prepare an affidavit in order to register a marriage. An advocate who is a registered notary public services provider prepares the affidavit, which is then submitted to the judicial magistrate for official signing validation.
District and sub-divisional magistrates (DM and SDM) can issue a voluntary affidavit proving singlehood against that person, which serves as an official singlehood certificate. The certificate is then sent to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for attestation and apostilling.
