I had to leave to London for office work last year. I got to know about this in a very short notice.
I traveled to London and found life to be very tough for me. I’ve never lived alone in my entire life. I’ve been favorite of my parents and they too never wanted to me to leave them.
While in London I realised life is tougher there and wanted to get my wife there for my support. She didn’t had a passport either. Sitting there I requested her to get the passport done.
After a great difficulty she got her passport done. Even then she couldn’t get the visa to the UK due to various reasons but mainly due to non-submission for proof of marriage.
I came back from London after 4 months and the first thing I did was to get my marriage certificate.
To get a marriage certificate, you need to take your marriage invitation card, marriage photos (3 numbers) where the couple faces can be easily detected.
You need to go to the registrar of the location where you got married.
Ex: I stay in Vijayanagar, Bangalore and got married in WOC road, Bangalore. So I had to go to the sub-registrar office in WOC road with the above documents.
I paid a fee of Rs.150/- and got the certificate in an hour or so (took time mainly as there was some property registration going on).
That’s all I did and hurray!! Now I have my marriage certificate. Next time I need to go onsite, I can plan to take my wife.
