We want to tell you one more thing, if you have done a court marriage or someone you know wants to do it, then this thing is for them.
In most areas of the country, we have seen that as soon as a couple has to get married, you go to a lawyer and you do not know in advance how to do a court marriage or love marriage.
Instead of getting the original certificate, you get a notary paper. The way to verify it is that first of all you contact Lead India, you can also verify it from them.
And the second way is that whenever you go to a lawyer, you can recognize the notary paper. There is an affidavit on which both the commissioners themselves notarize and the things written on it like your name is this, your partner’s name is this, your age is this much and you are getting married, then it is completely invalid and has no importance. Be cautious and do a court marriage with the right documents.
If you have any confusion, about affidavit name change then you can tell us by commenting, we will try to answer your question as soon as possible.
