N.B. England is classed as a district for the purposes of serving notice. If parties are serving notice in different districts, they should arrange to do so at approximately. One of the parties must also have presided in the district for at least 15 full days before the licence is granted. The marriage may take place 8 days after the serving of notice, subject to availability. The approximate time required for this is 23 days, not including the day of serving notice.
All times are subject to availability within the specific registrar's schedule of marriages.
Three months prior to the marriage hand in your notice application. Telephone the registrars office and arrange an appointment to serve notice. Where either party is divorced they must supply the registrar with a certified copy of the divorce decree Nisi and Absolut. A photocopied copy will not suffice. A questionnaire must also be completed in respect to both parties to the divorce and this must be forwarded in advance of appointment with the registrar.
