Notice of Marriage appointment
A notice is a legal statement that must be given individually by each of you prior to your ceremony.
Notices are venue specific, valid for 12 months and must be given in the registration district where you live. Therefore, you can only give your notice within 12 months of your proposed marriage date.
By continuing and making an appointment for a notice of marriage you are confirming that:
