PDF file, 100.1 KB
You must submit your notices at least 29 days before the marriage. This gives the
registrar time to satisfy himself that you are free to marry each other. You may
have to postpone your marriage if the form is submitted late.
Notices should be with the registrar 8 weeks before the marriage. If either of
you has been married before, the notices should be with the registrar 10 weeks
before the marriage.
In exceptional circumstances, the Registrar General will allow a marriage to take
place if 29 days' notice has not been given.
Only one person needs to appear to hand in the marriage notice, but the registrar
may ask you to attend to finalise the ceremony arrangements.
The registrar may ask to see a valid passport or other documents as evidence of your nationality and proof of residency.
