Giving Notice of Marriage
Posted on November 30, 2007 in the General Wedding Plans category
Today I went to give my notice of marriage at Worcester’s Register Office. You first have to phone the Register Office and make an appointment to see a registrar. They will tell you what you need to bring with you - Passsport/Birth Certificate/Proof of address(Utility bill or bank statement)/Driving License. I brought about 5 types of identity just to be on the safe side.
When you get to the register office, they will ask you a few questions about yourself i.e your full name and what you are known as. I have a vietnamese name which is on my passport etc, but I am known as Sally. I explained this to them and they said that I could have both names on the notice and on the date of my wedding I will be able to choose which name I use in the vows.
They then go through the other questions about yourself, like your age, your address, how long have you lived there for, what you do for a living, what is your dad’s full name and occupation. Then they ask about your fiance, his name, occupation, birthdate, address and whether or not he’s been married before.
The process is fairly easy. You then have to pay a fee of £30. They will explain what happens with the notice. It will be posted up for 15 days so that anyone can object to it if they want to. I will then recieve a marriage form/letter of some kind which I have to give to the Registrar’s who are conducting our ceremony.
Dave will be giving his Notice of Marriage on Tuesday in Nottingham as you have to go to the Register Office in whichever district you live in.
Now all I have to do is wait…………..
