Good atleast you gave your location. Now for getting a marriage certificate, If you are married under the Hindu marriage Act,1955 you can get your marriage registered with the marriage officer/ registrar under this Act for which you require a certificate from the priest who solominised your marriage or his witness to this effect , photograph of the marriage, two witnesses of such marriage, decleration by both the parties to this marriage regarding your age,status,mental status, relationship and actual solominisation of this marriage. The marriage officer/registrar is usually the DC or SDM of the district where the parties to such marriage usually reside or resident for not less then 30 days. You should have proof of your residence to this effect. In case your marriage was solominised under any other form (other then Hindu marriage) you can register such a marriage also but under the Special Marriage Act,1954 where the formalities regarding registration are some what same as stated above but in such a case you require 3 witnesses in place of 2 & such a registration takes 1 months time whereas in case of Hindu Marriage Act,1955 it can be done on same day of your application for registration.

You could go to the Registrar of Marriages at Andheri/Bandra/Coloba courts and marry once again and get a current dated certificate.
If you have proof of marriage from 6 years ago,like wedding cards,venue bills where it was held,you could make an affidavit in court have it notarised and Then have it attested by The Under Secretary (Home) 9th Floor Mantralya.This would be treated as a certificate of marriage for all legal purposes.
I would advise you see some lawyer who could help you get this work at the earliest.
Luck n Cheers!!

I had this happen to me too. Depends on where you were married, in the USA you would just request a copy from the magistrate office in the county where you were married. It may cost a couple of $$. The minister mails the original signed certificate in after the ceremony.

Write to the county court that you were married in,ask for the copy of the certificate. You will need about $5-$20 for the copy. Best to call ahead and find out what info you need. Copy of your ssn, birth certificate or just drivers license.

If you need a marriage certificate you go to your local town hall and then to the department of vital statistics, you can purchase your marriage certificate there with the proper identification.....It can cost anywhere from $5.00 and up for the copy.

contact a lawyer he will arrange for a affidavit from both partners and will submitt to the honourary court which in turn issues a marriage certificate upon depositing requisit fee.
time required entirely depends on your lawyer which normally ranges from 24 hours to few months

Since you guys are from Mumbai go to the small causes/family court at Bandra, Kurla complex, Bandra East and make your enquiries there.

(If you are in America) ...If you did not originally register the marriage certificate in the court house where you were married then there is not one to get.
