How much will the Notice cost? The current list of fees can be found on our website www. worcestershire.gov.uk/ceremonies/legal-requirements. Marrying or forming a Civil Partnership in a church If you are planning on a Marriage or a Civil Partnership in a church (other than the Church of England), at least one of the parties to the Marriage must live in the parish of the church or, it must be their usual place of worship. Ceremonies in places of religious worship For all religious weddings you will need to contact the priest, minister or other religious representative to obtain agreement for your Marriage or Civil Partnership to be conducted in their place of worship. For Marriages in the Church of England, banns should be called during the three months before your Marriage. This should be arranged by the vicar. There is generally no need to involve the local Registration service and Notice of Marriage is not normally required. However, if you are a foreign national and subject to the Immigration Act 2014 the vicar will require you to give Notice of Marriage at your local Register Office. If this is the case, we will also require a letter from the vicar to explain why banns cannot be read. If you are in any doubt, please speak to a member of the Registration team. For churches of other denominations, after making your booking with the priest or minister, you will need to contact the Registration service to arrange for a Notice of Marriage or Civil Partnership to be given by each party in the district in which you live.
Marriage or Civil Partnership abroad Ask the overseas authority if you need a ‘Certificate of No Impediment’. If you are planning to marry abroad in a commonwealth country we can no longer issue ‘Certificates of No Impediment’. We suggest you check the UK Government website on Marriage and Civil Partnerships abroad for up-to- date advice and information: www.gov.uk/marriage-abroad. We cannot advise on what documentation is required for a Marriage abroad – the onus will be on you to liaise with the local authorities in the country where you wish your Marriage to take place. The above legal requirements were correct at time of printing. These are subject to change and Registration services staff will advise at the time of booking your appointment. Please also check the website: www.gov.uk/marriages- civil-partnerships for the up to date legal requirements.
