Hauz Khas has many young professionals, students from the nearby institutions and working couples renting in the urban village and surrounding colonies. Tenants often have only a rent agreement as address proof, and one partner may be living in Delhi only for work. We check that the 30-day residence condition is genuinely met and that the office will accept your proof before the notice is filed.

The South district administration lists the Hauz Khas, Kalu Sarai, Begumpur and Sarai Shahji revenue villages under Malviya Nagar sub-division. The Malviya Nagar SDM office is in the DM South complex on M.B. Road, Saket. We confirm the exact office for your address before any application is filed.

Delhi's revenue districts were reorganised from 11 to 13 by a Revenue Department notification of 25 December 2025. The new districts are Central, Central North, East, New Delhi, North, North East, North West, Old Delhi, Outer North, South, South East, South West and West; Shahdara is no longer a separate revenue district. SDM (sub-division) boundaries moved with this change, so the Marriage Officer or registering authority for your address may differ from what older websites say. Always confirm your current sub-division on the Delhi Revenue Department website before applying. A further notification of 3 September 2026 aligned registration jurisdiction with these boundaries, with a Sub-Registrar office for each of the 39 sub-divisions.
