Marriage registration process will be simplified in Karnataka with the State government set to allow it to be done online using Aadhaar authentication. The government is hoping that the online process will increase registration of marriages.
The pilot is expected to be run by the end of January before starting full-fledged registrations soon after. While the offline mode of registration at the sub-registrar’s office will continue for those not wishing to provide Aadhaar authentication, those wishing to register their marriage without visiting the sub-registrar’s office will be allowed to register online. Documents required for both will remain the same.
