If you are subject to immigration control please read the information below as you will need furher documentary evidence. Visa requirements If you are entering the UK for the purpose of a marriage or civil parnership you must check with the UKVI (United Kingdom Visa and Immigration) that you have the correct visa to do so. Worcestershire Registration Service is unable to ofer any advice regarding immigration matters. Abuse of immigration laws We are working with the Home Oice to identify any marriages and civil parnerships which seek to abuse UK immigration laws. Anybody found to be arranging, facilitating, or entering into a marriage or civil parnership solely to gain permission to stay in the UK risks arrest or prosecution. Foreign nationals may also face deporation and be barred from re-entering the UK for up to 14 years. Proof of immigration status Please note: If either pary is a national of an EU country and does not have settled or pre-settled status (or a pending application) applied for prior 30 th June 2021 or is a national of a non-EU country, you may be subject to immigration control.
This means you must give your Notices together at the Register Oice covering the district in which you have both lived for the preceding 7 days and 7 nights. If you both live in diferent registration districts you must give your Notices together at either Register Oice and the Notice fee will be £57.00 each.
Registrars cannot give immigration advice.
In addition to the documents you need to provide when giving Notice, you must provide evidence of your immigration status: • proof of settled, pre-settled or pending EUSS status, including the 9-digit alphanumeric share code from the GOV.UK website: www.gov.uk/view-prove- immigration-status • Marriage or Civil Parnership Visa • eVisa – UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) have developed a digital immigration system (this replaces physical documents with an online record of your immigration status, for more information please visit the GOV.UK website: www.gov.uk/guidance/online-immigration- status-evisa) If you do not have the correct proof, your marriage or civil parnership will be referred to the UKVI who may decide to extend your notice period for 70 days if they wish to investigate furher. The marriage or civil parnership cannot take place until approval is granted by the UKVI. More information on this can be found on the GOV.UK website for marriages and civil parnerships in England and Wales: www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-parnerships. Photographs Both paries, where one or both are subject to immigration, will also need to provide a colour photograph at the time of giving Notice, unless you are a British national, Irish national, or you can provide proof of settled status.
