Hello all.
I have an OCI card with a US passport. My wife is American (US-born), with a US passport, and is not of Indian Origin. We live in Dallas TX.
We were married in 2020 in TX and have a Marriage License from Local County, State of Texas. It has the Seal of Approval, from the State of Texas.
We are in the process of applying for my wife's OCI card. We are confused regarding one of the documents, APOSTILLED MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, as asked per the OCI card Checklist
Questions
1. Is the marriage License from the local Country with Seal of Texas, sufficient and compliant with APOSTILLED MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE to be submitted for my wife's OCI application? If not, what extra details are needed?
2. What is an Apostilled Marriage certificate, and how do I get it, for the purposes of my wife's OCI application? Who needs to issue this Apostilled Marriage certificate? Can you please share details on the process of getting such a certificate, based on our context as explained above?
3. There is a question on the online OCI application form: "If Marriage is solemnised abroad/Outside India, whether the marriage certificate is Apostled/certified by the Indian Mission/Post Concerned: Yes | No ": We are confused by this question. What is the purpose of this question? In our case, we do not have our Marriage Certificate certified by the Indian Mission. So, if we answer NO, what are the consequences for my wife's OCI application? Is there anything negative to be aware of?
Thank you
