2) enclose documentary evidence of your divorce 

3) execute POA in favour of family member to make application 

Please check how you had filled in the application at the Registrar's Office. Was there an option for 'divorced'? If there is no separate option in the application, there is no harm in stating 'unmarried' in the certificate.

You will need to submit an affidavit and also the official fee is minimal but since its a government office so they take some charge to correct the error. Tell me about the city you got married in so that i can help you in better way possible. 

1.  First of all you have to know the details Brittney in the application for registering the marriage.

If you have not written the status properly then there is no point in objecting to this.

The time is given for rectifying the errors before the actual marriage certificate is printed out, hence any errors found after that may not be entertained by the marriage registrar until the error is on the side of the registration department.

2. You may have to submit an application with the details of the error and seek rectification on the basis of the documentary evidences in your possession.

3.  The cost can be enquired from the registrar's office

Court marriage has the same procedure across India for updating the marriage certificate thus, it’s not a tedious task. There are online portals available that ensure hassle-free work, which does not require the presence of witness. However, it is limited to certain states. If any change is required to be made in a marriage certificate, the application which is to be made shall be made along with a valid proof of the same, and a simple notarized affidavit is required to be submitted to the Registrar for correction in the certificate. File an updating form, attach a copy of the marriage certificate and pay the fee as prescribed for the procedure. The concerned officer will issue a receipt against the application. Once the same is done 4 copies of the gazette carrying your application details and updated column will be mailed to your address mentioned in the application.

The Visa application would require authentication of the current marital status of the person who applies for visa, they won't look for the past history.

Your worries are unnecessary.

If you are all that concerned about this visa process due to the error in the marriage certificate with regard to the marital status, you can apply to the concerned marriage registrar seeking to rectify the marital status in the marriage registration certificate based on  your original application submitted before them.
