If you want to get it, go to Introducing Timeline page and click "Get Timeline" and start trimming out activities.

I just got my Marriage Certificate through Teleserv!

To avoid heavy traffic and waiting in long line just to get our marriage certificate from NSO, I availed it through Teleserv. I made my order on Monday, have it confirmed and then my wife received it by Thursday. Definitely a more convenient way in getting your NSO documents.
