Hi Ashok
I do not know what red seal you are talkin about. All you need is your marriage certificate with local authority ( registrar or similar) signed and seal. You need to send a photocopy of Marriage certificate thats all.
hope this answar is helpful

The authority that issues a marriage certificate has to apply its seal on the certificate. As far as I know it could be purple/black/red.

If you are talking about seal made of molten red sealing wax, with an impression from metallic seal while it is still hot, that one is usually used to seal envelopes/documents.

It would depend on what seal the marriage registration authority in your location uses. Your wanting a different seal would not matter to him. Only try to ensure that certificate is in English/Bilingual. That they can oblige.

Best of luck.
