il Partnership
When you give notice the Registrar will ask
questions about you and your partner.
If you are not a British or EEA citizen,
legislation will apply, so please contact us
before you book your appointment.
At the time of booking your notice
appointment, we will advise you
which documentation to bring to your
appointment. If you don’t bring the correct
documentation we will not be able to take
your notice and a further appointment will
need to be booked and a further fee paid.

To give a notice of marriage or civil
partnership, you and your partner must
have lived in England or Wales for at least
seven clear days immediately before you
give notice. If you are creating a residency,
in this country you must give your
respective notices to the Register Office
before either of you leave the address
where you have created your residency, be
it in the same or different districts. It does
not matter if either of you then move to a
different address after this time. You must
have been resident for seven clear days
before giving notice.
After giving notice you must allow at least
28 clear days (or 70 days for some non-
EEA nationals) before you can marry or
enter into a civil partnership. Your marriage
or civil partnership must then take place
within 12 months of the date you gave
notice, at the venue specified on the notice.
If you are under 18, you will need proof of
your parents’ or guardians’ consent.
They will need to complete a form which
we will supply.
“Lovely wedding ceremony,
thank you so much”
