How to Register on NRI Hearts

Choose who the profile is for

Open the registration page and pick one of four options:

• Myself: you are looking for your own life partner.
• My Son or My Daughter: you are a parent managing the profile.
• A Family Member / Relative: a sibling, cousin or other relative.

Before you create a profile for someone else, talk to them first, so they know about it and agree.

Enter the account holder's details

The account holder is the person who signs in, so a parent enters their own name here, not their son's or daughter's. You'll be asked for:

• Your full name
• Your email address, which you'll use to sign in
• A password of at least 8 characters, with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character
• The country you live in, and whether you are of Indian origin

Tick the box to agree to the terms, then select Create Account.

Confirm your email

We email you a 6-digit code. Enter it on the Verify Your Email screen. The code is valid for 10 minutes. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder, or ask for a new code.

Create the profile

Next you'll fill in the profile itself. It has these sections:

1. Who is creating this profile? Parent, self or relative.
2. Profile photo (required). A recent photo of the person who is getting married, alone and facing the camera. You can choose to blur it, so it's shown clearly only to members whose photo request you accept.
3. Contact details. A phone number with the country code. We text a code to verify it. Choose Private (shown only after mutual interest) or Public.
4. Personal details. Gender, date of birth, height, religion, community, mother tongue, marital status, diet and where they live.
5. Education & career. Highest degree, profession and where they work.
6. Family details. Parents' occupations, family type and values, and siblings.
7. Horoscope details. Manglik status, whether a horoscope is available, and star (nakshatra). You can check compatibility later with our free kundali matching.
8. Partner preferences. Age range, location, education and anything else that matters to your family.

Photos we can't accept

To protect families from fake profiles, a photo is refused if it shows no face, shows a group, is too small, shows a face turned away, or is already used on another NRI Hearts account.

Choose whether to show the profile in search

When you save, you'll be asked about Search Visibility. Choose Show in Search so matching families can find the profile. You can keep it hidden if you'd rather search first.

Get the Photo verified badge (optional)

A short live selfie, about 30 seconds, is compared with the profile photo. If they match, the profile shows a Photo verified badge, which tells families the photo is real. The selfie must be taken by the person in the photo, so if you're a parent, send them the photo verification link.

Our team reviews the profile

Every profile is email-verified and manually reviewed by our team before it goes live. We do not check identity documents, marital status, visa status, employment or income, so before you commit to a match, follow our checklist for verifying an NRI groom or bride.

Search matches and connect

On the free plan you can search by country, city and community and read profile details. Names and photos, sending interests and messaging other families directly come with a paid plan. Read our safety tips before you share personal details with anyone.
