Court Marriage In Nepal provides complete marriage registration services for Nepali citizens, NRNs, Indians, and foreigners. Our legal team handles document preparation, court filings, and certificate procurement—typically completed within 2-7 days for Nepali citizens.
Under the Civil Code 2017 (2074), any couple meeting the eligibility criteria can register marriage in Nepal. This includes Nepali citizens, non-resident Nepalis (NRNs), Indian nationals, and foreign citizens. Both individuals must be unmarried (or legally divorced) and at least 20 years of age.
Nepal law provides three methods for marriage registration: court marriage through District Court, marriage certificate through Ward Office for couples already married via religious/social rituals, and registration through Nepal Embassy or Consulate for citizens abroad.
The registration follows six steps: eligibility verification, application submission to District Court, 15-day residence verification, document submission with deed of consent, review and decision by Judge, and finally issuance of marriage certificate within 7 days of approval.
We provide court marriage registration services across Nepal including Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Pokhara, Chitwan, Dharan, Biratnagar, and Jhapa districts. Our team manages all legal formalities—you, your partner, and two witnesses appear before the Marriage Registration Officer to sign the declaration.
