Court Marriage Document Preparation

Court marriage in Nepal requires specific legal documents that must be properly prepared, verified, and notarized before submission to the District Court. Whether you're a Nepali citizen, NRN, or foreigner, our document preparation service ensures all your paperwork meets the exact requirements set by Nepal's Civil Code 2017 (2074).

Why Document Preparation Matters

Incomplete or incorrectly prepared documents are the most common reason for delays in court marriage registration. The District Court requires all documents in specific formats, with proper notarization and—for foreign nationals—certified translations in Nepali language. A single missing document or incorrect translation can delay your marriage registration by weeks.

Our legal team has processed thousands of court marriage document sets over the past decade. We understand exactly what each District Court requires and ensure your documents pass verification on the first attempt.

Documents Required for Nepali Citizens

For Nepali citizens registering court marriage, the documentation process is relatively straightforward but still requires careful preparation. You need to submit a properly filled application form for marriage registration in the prescribed format. Both parties must provide citizenship certificates along with passport-sized photographs—typically four copies each.

A critical document is the single status letter (unmarried certificate) from the Ward Office of both the male and female. This letter confirms that neither party is currently married. If either party was previously married, a divorce certificate or spouse death certificate is required instead. Additionally, two witnesses must provide their citizenship certificates.

If you're registering marriage in a district different from your permanent address, you'll need a 15-day temporary residence letter from the local Ward Office of your current residence. This residence verification is mandatory under Nepal law.

Additional Documents for Foreign Nationals

Foreign citizens marrying in Nepal face more complex documentation requirements. The most important document is the No-Objection Letter (NOC) from your respective Embassy or Consulate in Nepal. This letter confirms that your home country has no objection to your marriage in Nepal and that you are legally free to marry.

Nepal law also requires a notarized Nepali translation of the marriage law from your home country. This document must explain the legal marriage requirements in your country and confirm that your intended marriage in Nepal would be recognized. Our team handles this translation through certified translators and ensures proper notarization.

Foreign nationals must also provide a minimum 15-day proof of residence in Nepal from the concerned local Ward Office. This means you need to arrive in Nepal at least 15 days before your intended marriage registration date. Your passport with valid visa must be submitted along with photocopies.

Our Document Preparation Process

We follow a systematic approach to ensure your documents are court-ready. The process begins with an initial consultation where we review your situation and provide a complete checklist of required documents based on your nationality and circumstances.

Once you provide your original documents, our team conducts thorough verification. We check for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with court requirements. If any corrections or additions are needed, we inform you immediately with specific guidance on how to resolve the issue.

For documents requiring notarization—such as citizenship certificates, passports, birth certificates, and educational documents—we handle the entire notarization process through registered notary publics. All notarized documents are prepared in the format accepted by District Courts across Nepal.

For foreign nationals, we coordinate with your Embassy or Consulate to obtain the No-Objection Letter. We also arrange certified translation of your country's marriage law and any other foreign-language documents into Nepali. All translations are notarized and authenticated for court submission.

Embassy Coordination for Foreigners

Obtaining documents from foreign embassies can be time-consuming and confusing. Different embassies have different procedures, processing times, and document requirements. Our team has established working relationships with major embassies in Kathmandu and understands their specific requirements.

We guide you through the embassy appointment process, help you prepare the required documents for embassy submission, and follow up on your behalf to ensure timely processing. This coordination significantly reduces delays in your marriage registration timeline.

Translation and Notarization Services

All foreign-language documents submitted to Nepal courts must be translated into Nepali by certified translators. Machine translations or informal translations are not accepted. Our network of certified translators handles translations from English, Hindi, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and other major languages.

After translation, documents must be notarized by a registered notary public in Nepal. We manage this entire process, ensuring translations are accurate, properly formatted, and legally notarized for court acceptance.
