Do you have to get married in your local registry office?
You and your partner must give notice of marriage in your local Register Office, whether or not you wish to marry in that district. If you and your partner live in different places, you’ll both have to go to your own local Register Office to give notice.
What do you need to give notice of marriage?
You must bring one of the following documents in your name:
- Utility bill (dated within 3 months)
- Bank statement (dated within 1 month).
- Most recent council tax bill (dated within 1 year)
- Mortgage statement (dated within 1 year)
- Valid UK driving licence showing your current name and address.
Do you walk down the aisle at a registry office?

Can I give notice to get married?
Notice for all marriages must be given in the 12-month period before the date of the marriage. You must send your notice early enough to allow the registrar to make sure both parties are free to marry one another. Normally, notices should be with the registrar about eight weeks before the marriage.
Can I give notice to marry?
For most marriages or civil partnerships you must give at least 29 full days’ notice. We recommend that you aim to do this approximately three months before your ceremony, but you can do it up to a year in advance.
How much notice do you need to give to get married?
The standard notice period is 29 days. This is the earliest that you would be able to marry or register your civil partnership. If you have been referred to the Home Office, they may extend the notice to 71 days. The Home Office will notify you directly if this is the case.
Do you need to give notice if getting married in a church?
