Reading: My wife, a Filipino citizen, and I got married in Kerala in 2015. To include her name in my passport, the Filipino Embassy in Delhi needs our marriage certificate attested. I’ve already completed the state and external affairs ministry attestation. Now, they need a court affidavit and both of us present. How do I get this court affidavit?

To obtain the court affidavit for your wife’s passport inclusion, you need to approach a lawyer and file an affidavit in the appropriate court in Kerala. This affidavit needs to state that your marriage is valid under Indian law and was registered in Kerala. The affidavit will need to be signed by both you and your wife in the presence of the court official.
