Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about court marriage registration in Nepal. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our legal team.

Is court marriage legal in Nepal?

Yes, court marriage is fully legal in Nepal. It is governed by the National Civil Code 2074 (2017), Chapter on Marriage, Sections 67-84. The marriage certificate issued by the District Court is legally valid for all purposes in Nepal and internationally recognized. Learn more about court marriage in Nepal.

For Nepali citizens, court marriage takes 2-3 working days. For couples involving foreign nationals, it takes 17-19 days including the mandatory 15-day residence requirement. The marriage certificate is issued on the same day of court approval. Read detailed timeline guide.

Yes, foreigners can legally marry in Nepal. This includes Nepali + Foreigner couples and Foreigner + Foreigner couples. Foreign nationals must stay in Nepal for a minimum of 15 days before applying and obtain a No Objection Letter (NOC) from their respective Embassy or Consulate in Nepal. Read foreigner marriage guide.

The legal minimum age for marriage in Nepal is 20 years for both males and females. Both parties must have attained this age at the time of application. This applies to Nepali citizens and foreign nationals alike. Learn about age requirements.

For Nepali citizens: Citizenship certificate, single status certificate from ward office, passport photos, and 2 witnesses. For foreign nationals: Valid passport with visa, NOC from embassy, single status certificate from home country, marriage law of home country (translated), and temporary residence letter after 15 days stay. See complete document checklist.

Nepal is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Instead, you can get your marriage certificate attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Nepal for international use. We provide assistance with MOFA attestation and embassy legalization services.

No, online marriage registration is not possible in Nepal. Both parties must be physically present at the District Court on the scheduled date along with their witnesses. However, we provide online consultation to help you prepare all documents before your visit.

You can apply at any of the 77 District Courts in Nepal. If applying in a district different from your citizenship, you need a temporary residence letter from the local ward office (after 15 days of stay). Most couples prefer Kathmandu District Court for convenience. See full process guide.
