The Uttarakhand government has instructed its employees to register their marriages under the state's newly implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC). This directive, highlighted in a letter by Uttarakhand Chief Secretary Radha Raturi, applies to all marriages conducted after March 26, 2010.

District magistrates and department heads throughout the state have been tasked to ensure all married employees complete their marriage registrations promptly. Each district will submit a weekly status report to the home secretary tracking the progress of these registrations.

In each department, a nodal officer will oversee the registration process for married personnel. The Uttarakhand Information Technology Development Agency has been directed to extend technical assistance to facilitate efficient registration on the UCC portal across the state.
