We are getting married in a church or religious building If you wish to be married in the Church of England or the Church in Wales, you must contact the Vicar. The Vicar will arrange for the Banns to be called, or for a common licence to be issued. Unless one or both of you are subject to immigration control or you are asked by the vicar to contact your Register Office, we would not normally be involved at this stage.
If you do not live in the district where the place of worship is located then you must confirm that this is your usual place of worship and have the permission from the incumbent of the church. In the first instance you should check with the church or place of worship you wish to marry in to see if they are available for the date you are considering and to confirm what is required and also if a Registrar needs to be booked to attend the ceremony. After your ceremony your marriage document or marriage schedule will be sent to our Registration Certificate Archive to be entered onto the electronic register. You can then apply for your marriage certificates at www. hertfordshire.gov.uk. Marriage certificates are £11.00 each. Your order will be processed within four working days and posted first class. You will not be able to obtain a marriage certificate on the day of your ceremony. Please note the certificate will have the names that you used to contract your marriage and not your new married names.
If you wish to be married in a church or building of any other denomination, you will need to give notice of marriage in the district where you live. • If you are both British, Irish or an EEA citizen with EUSS granted or applied for before 30 June 2021 , you must give your notice in the district where you have lived for a minimum of seven clear days before giving notice. • If one or both of you are non-EEA or EEA nationals without EUSS status then you must book a double appointment in the district where one of you has lived for a minimum of seven clear days before giving notice.
