Getting Married
Marriage
Authority
This is the document that allows you to
get married. How to get one...
Once you have given notice you must wait a minimum of 15
complete days, whilst the notice is publicly displayed at the
register office, before the marriage can take place (e.g. if you
give notice on January 2nd then you cannot marry until January
18th).
If you are marrying out of your district(s) of residence, you must
collect a marriage authority (or authorities) from your local
register office(s), after the waiting period has expired.
These documents (one for each of you) are the legal authorisation
for your marriage to take place and must be delivered to the
register office of the district in which you are to be married,
before the day of your wedding.
The authority is valid for one year from the date the notice was
given.
There is a statutory
fee for
each person giving notice of marriage.
