To arrange a wedding at approved premises, you must first contact the venue to make provisional arrangements, and then contact the Register Office of the district in which the venue is located to ensure that Registration Officers can attend the wedding on the date of your choice.

You will have to give Notice of Marriage in the District (s) you each live, and Marriage Authority to the Superintendent Registrar in the District where you are getting married. So....

Before you can marry in an approved premises, you must give notice of your intention to marry. You can give notice in two ways; by ' Certificate without Licence' or by 'Certificate and Licence'.

You cannot give more than twelve months notice. A fee will be charged for giving notice, and details are available from the Register Office.

• Certificate Without Licence.

1. You must have both lived in any district in England or Wales for the seven days before the date you give notice of your marriage. It does not matter if either of you move to a different address after the notice(s) have been given.
2. Notice must be given in the district(s) where you both reside. If the district in which you intend to marry is not one of these, then you should contact the Register Office in that district before giving notice in your own district(s).
3. After you have given notice, you must wait at least twenty-two (22) days whilst the notice is publicly displayed. You can then collect the 'authority', the legal document which allows your marriage to proceed.
4. You must get married within twelve (12) months of the date you first gave notice.

• Certificate and Licence.

1. You or the person you are marrying must have lived in a district in England or Wales for fifteen (15) days before the date you give notice. The other person needs to be resident of, or be in England or Wales on the day that the notice is given.
2. You only have to give one notice, in the district where one of you have lived for at least fifteen (15) days so it does not matter if one of you lives in a different district.
3. With this type of notice, the information is not displayed, and you can collect the authority (the licence) (and get married if you wish) one (1) clear day later.
4. It is your responsibility to apply for, and then deliver this 'authority' to the Superintendent Registrar of the marriage district.

When you present to give notice, you may be asked to produce certain documents for inspection....

• Birth certificates and passports as evidence of age and identity.
• Persons who were born abroad are requested to produce passports.
• Persons under 18 years of age should submit written consent from the appropriate parent/guardian/authority. The Superintendent Registrar has forms for this purpose.
• Widowers or widows should produce proof of death their former spouse.
• Divorced persons should produce a decree absolute bearing an original court seal.
• If a divorce took place in a foreign country, the original document must be produced and if applicable an English translation.
• If a name has been changed by deed poll or statutory declaration then these should be produced.
• A means of payment, as a fee is payable to give the notice of marriage.
