6 isle of wight ceremonies guide
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO 1. Choose your venue Select where you would like to hold your ceremony on the Isle of Wight. This could be in any of the approved premises, the register office, or a suitable space that has significant meaning to you. 2. Book your venue with the registrars Select a date that is special to you. Contact the Isle of Wight Registrars to check our availability on that date. Booking early is recommended to ensure the best chance at securing your preferred date and time. 3. Confirm your booking You are required to pay a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. Your remaining ceremony fees will be due at the time of giving your notice. You will be advised of these costs when you first make your booking; alternatively, they can be found on the Isle of Wight Register Office website at: www.iow.gov.uk/ births-deaths-and-ceremonies/. The deposit will allow you one change of time/date/ venue in one transaction. If you decide to make further changes to the date/time/venue of your ceremony, you will be required to pay the deposit fee again. 4. Giving your legal preliminaries You will need to give your notice at least 28 days before the date of your ceremony, but no more than
12 months before. The notice is tied to the venue provided to the registrar in your appointment. If you have not given notice by 6 months before your ceremony date, you will be contacted and prompted to book your appointment with your local register office. There is a statutory fee made payable in your notice appointment to the register office where your appointment is being held. You will both be required to provide identity documentation to prove your name, date of birth, address, nationality, and marital status. These documents need to be original official documents (including English translations where necessary), we cannot accept photocopies. A list of the documents you are required to bring can be found on the Gov.uk website at: www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-partnerships If you or your partner are subject to immigration control and/or subject to the Home Office referral scheme, extra documents may be required. You may be required to undertake a 70 days’ notice period, rather than the standard 28 days. For more information, please visit www.gov.uk. You will be required to pay your remaining ceremony fees in/after your notice appointment. Fees are subject to change from the start of each financial year, and if your notice appointment is scheduled after the 1st April you will pay the new rates. If you live on the Isle of Wight this payment will be taken in your notice appointment. If you live elsewhere in England and Wales, after giving your notice you will be contacted
