Marriage certificate in English or required language?
Marriage certificate in English or required language according to the rules of the respective country in case of traveling abroad with husband and wife, performing Hajj, and going abroad for medical treatment.
However, an important point to note here is that the spouse’s name would not be added to the Passport in absence of a marriage certificate.
Secondly, the spouse, who intends to change her address needs to provide a valid address proof, which again is not possible without a marriage certificate.
This rule has added to a lot of confusion. To clarify this rule, it simply means that if you declare your Martial Status as “Married”, then Passport Authorities would not request you to provide a Marriage Certificate for the issuance of a Passport. This is because a Passport is essentially a travel document and is not proof of marriage.
