Bangalore Registration Need Help Others Address Proof domicile

Hello PRAJAgalu's,

I need some help/suggestion on registering my marriage @ registrar office, koramangala BDA complex.
Later I will put down all the proper steps and all what needed for the help of people to get it done without any agent and any bribe.

Last weekend, I went to registrar office at BDA complex, koramangala for marriage registration, There, they have specifically put up notice boards that they are not going to accept landline phone bill(not even bsnl), mobile postpaid bill, rental agreement, company letter, bank passbook etc as address proof. If I have these, I have to go to Tahsildar's office at KG Road and get a domicile certificate from there.
(1) First question, I would like to know whether notices at registrar offices have been put up as per the proper laws or just to felicitate agents there. If its not as per the law, then I would like to do something about it parallely. (As per the notice boards, they only accept voter-id card, DL, passport and ration card as address proof)
Like many other people, I don't have any 4 of above having address same as my current residential address which falls under koramangala registrar office.

(2) To go by whatever is mentioned in the notice, I would like to go to Tahsildar's office (revenue officer there also) and get the residential (certificate) from there. Here, I would like to know if any of you has some information about what all documents should I carry apart from rental agreement/company letter and whom to meet there to get my residential certificate from there without any agent and without any bribe.

You dont need current address proof. you can take ur passport to any registrar's office in india and get your marriage registered irrespective of your proof of current address. One of my friend did it recently in bangalore and it was done under 1hr without any bribes or touts. Hope this helps.

 

cheers

Hi Hemanth,

(1) Do we not need to go to the registrar office, as per our address proof document (like passport in your friend's case)?

(2) In my passport, my college-hostel address is written (which falls under kengeri), will that work?

 

What I could gather any info, is that, one of the bride or groom, has to present the local address proof, to get it registered.

Hi Deepak,

my answer to both your questions:

 You can go to any marriage registration office in india with whatever valid address proof that you have. In other words, You can take ur kengeri proof of address and get it registered in koramangala.

Goodluck,

Hemanth

 

When I applied for my marriage certificate, neither me or my wife were living in the town in Kerala where we got married and hence did not have any local address proof.  The only proof I was asked for is that I was an Indian citizen because the guy asked me what I do and I used to live in the US at that time.

One key difference though... I applied for my marriage certificate in the municipality and not with the sub-registrar's office.  Wonder why it was different?

In my case, I had to submit the hostel allotment letter to prove that I was a resident under the same address.
