How to Register a Marriage at Indian Embassy Doha

Civil marriages at the Indian Embassy in Qatar are possible if one partner is an Indian citizen with Qatari residency. Here's what you'll need:

• Passport and Qatar ID copies for both bride and groom.
• Attested parental ID copies (passport, voter ID, Aadhaar card) from both sides.
• Death certificates (if applicable) for deceased parents, attested by a notary public or the embassy.
• Singleness certificates from the jurisdictional Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or competent court in India, attested by the State Home Department and Ministry of External Affairs.
• Three Indian witnesses' passport and Qatar ID copies.
• Five passport photos each for the couple.

For non-Indian partners, additional requirements include a singleness certificate/affidavit from their home country, a No Objection Certificate from their embassy, and one foreign national witness.

Submit all the above documents alongside the duly filled-in forms and prescribed fee to the embassy.

• Miscellaneous Service Form
• Marriage Declaration Form
• Notice of Intended Marriage Form

The embassy will post a no objection notice for one month and require you to place a marriage announcement (English) in a local newspaper in Qatar and in a leading newspaper in India (Native Place) or in foreign country, if one of the partners is of foreign nationality. The embassy will issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) letter for this purpose. After one month and submitting original newspaper clippings, the embassy will process your request for marriage registration.

The embassy will contact you to schedule the marriage registration ceremony. Remember, marriage registration is subject to approval by the competent authority.
