Marrying in this district

You give notice of marriage in person at the register office for the district where you have lived for the last 7 full days — which may not be this one, even if you marry here. In standard cases you then wait 28 days before the ceremony can take place.

Ceremonies can take place at the Register Office (QEII) or at one of the council's approved venues, including local hotels and halls.

Your steps, in order

The 60-second check works out which route applies to you, your notice period, and what to do in what order.
