What do I need to do?

First you need to decide where and when you wish to be married. Once you have some possible dates and times of your wedding you need to contact the Register Office to give a notice of marriage.

When you give your notice of marriage you will need to produce proof of your identity. A valid passport is the ideal document. If this is not available, two documents, such as a birth certificate (issued around the time of the registration of your birth), medical card, driving licence, a cheque book, cheque guarantee card, utility bill etc may be acceptable.

If you have been married before you will need to produce documents to show how your last marriage ended. These could include either a decree absolute bearing the court's original stamp, or the death certificate of your former spouse.

If you have changed your name by Deed Poll, Change of name Deed or by Statutory Declaration these documents will need to be shown to the Superintendent Registrar.

If either of you is under 18 years of age the consent of your parents or guardians is required. Please ask the Superintendent Registrar for more information.
