Important Notes:
Registration Requirement: Ensure your marriage is registered with the LSGD. Unregistered marriages will not have a certificate available in the system.
Document Availability: Certificates for marriages registered before the online system’s implementation might not be accessible through the portal. In such cases, contact the local registrar’s office where the marriage was registered for assistance.
Contact Information: For further assistance, reach out to the Registrar of Common Marriage at the Public Office Building, Museum (PO), Trivandrum. Phone: 0471-2323286.
By following these steps, you can obtain a copy of your marriage certificate online or through designated service centers in Kerala.
