Overview
- Weekend registrations will run 9 am to 1 pm at designated ward offices, with 13 wards operating on Saturdays and 12 on Sundays, and services closed on public holidays.
- On weekdays, a Fast-Track option reserves 20% of slots—6 of 30 per ward per day—for same-day certificates once verification is complete.
- Applicants must appear with witnesses, submit required documents, and pay the regular fee plus an additional Rs 2,500 to use either service.
- Both offerings begin on September 21 under the Public Health Department’s marriage registration framework.
- BMC cites only 30,000–35,000 registrations a year and has directed departments to pursue further digitisation and service acceleration.
