IRANT , , If you wish to be married in the Church of England


- and generally you will be able to do so only if you or your partner live in the parish - you should first speak


ner must attend personally at the register office for the district(s) where you live and give notice of your mar­


riage to the superintendent registrar. Notice of marriage can be given m one of two ways. By certificate: Both of you must have lived in a reg­


istration district in England or Wales for at least seven days immediately before giving notice at the register


°^lTyou both live in the same district, you only need give one notice. If you live in different registration dis­ tricts, then each of you will need to give notice in your


own area. After giving notice, you must wait a further 21 days , ,, _01 .


before marriage can take place (for example, if notice is given on July 1st, the marriage may take place on or


after July 23rd). By licence: To marry by this method, which is often


known as "special licence" and is more expensive, one of you must have lived in a registration district in Eng­ land or Wales for a least 15 days before giving notice


at the register office. Your partner only needs to be a resident of, or be , .


physically in, England or Wales on the day notice is given. After notice is given, the marriage can take place after one clear day. For example, you can give notice on a Tuesday and be married on the Thursday.


: How far. in advance may I make a booking?- A notice of marriage is valid for 12 months. You


may, therefore, not give notice of marriage to the superintendent registrar more than 12 months before


the date of your marriage. However you may be able to make an advance (pro­


visional) booking with the superintendent registrar of


the district where you wish to marry. The superintendent registrar will be able to give you


more precise information in this respect.


Documents you may: need to produce! superintendent registrar or the vie


When you attend before the superintendent regis­


trar or vicar to make the formal arrangements, you will need to produce certain documents. For example, if you have been married before a decree absolute of divorce bearing the court’s original stamp, or, if your husband or wife died, a certificate of death. It you would also be useful if you birth certificate or


passport could be produced. Photocopies are unlikely to be acceptable. Other documents may also be needed depending on the circumstances. For example, the con­ sent of parents to a marriage where one of the couple is


under the age of 18. If you are not able to provide any of the above doc­


uments, the superintendent registrar will explain what other documents may be acceptable.


Please note:


Your marriage cannot go ahead unless the legal for­ malities have been completed.


Notice of marriage must be given in person to the superintendent registrar by you or your partner. No


one else can do so on your behalf. Where an advance booking for a marriage has been


made, it is essential that a formal notice is given to the superintendent registrar once you are legally able to


do so. O th e r information^; There are nationally set fees for giving notice to the


superintendent registrar and for the registrar's atten­ dance a t a marriage at a register office or religious


building. However, the fee for the attendance of the supenn-


tendent registrar and registrar at a marriage in an approved premises (for example, at a hotel) is set by


the local authority. The superintendent registrar of the district where t . . ,


you wish to marry will be able to provide you with details of the fees payable. On the day of the wedding you will need to bring


with you at least two people who are prepared to wit­ ness the marriage and sign the marriage register. If you wish to know more about marriage cere­


monies a t register offices or a t approved premises, please ask the superintendent registrar for details. While a ceremony of marriage in the presence of a superintendent registrar cannot, by law, contain


any religious aspect, it may be possible with th e agre em en t of the re g is t ra t io n officers attending the ceremony for you to include non­ religious music and/or poetry readings and or th e wedding to be videoed.
