When should we give notice of marriage?

Notice must be given no later than the statutory waiting period before your ceremony, and no earlier than twelve months before it. Enter your date and this tool shows both ends of that window.

Your intended wedding date

One or both of us is subject to immigration control (70-day waiting period).

What this means for you

Treat the "give notice by" date as a hard deadline for the appointment itself, not for booking it. If your slack is under a month, book both notice appointments before you confirm anything else.

The free check applies your circumstances and shows the route, the office and the dates that matter.

Simply Married is an independent planning service, not a register office or government department.
