So if notice of marriage was given on 1st June the marriage could take place at the earliest on the 17th June. After the 15 clear days are completed, authorities must be issued by the Superintendent Registrar to each of the parties before the marriage can take place. Usually up to one year ahead of your wedding date. Notices of marriage are valid for one year and couples will be expected to give their notices as soon as it is legally possible in order to secure a booking. This is to ensure the availability of Registrars.
Licences are only valid for three years.
You must ensure, therefore, that the Approved Building has a licence that is still valid on the day of your marriage. In addition you should book the officiating Superintendent Registrar first before you book with the Approved Building. All persons are required to produce a birth certificate or current, valid passport. Other forms of identity which are acceptable include a full driving licence, rent or council tax document, utility bill or National Health Service medical card. Persons from abroad are required to produce identity documents e.g. passport, identity card, Home Office travel document.
