A legal Notice of Marriage
A legal Notice of Marriage must be completed by both the bride and groom to the superintendent registrar of the district in which you have lived for at least the previous nine days.
If you both live in Warrington your Notices will be given at Warrington Register Office. You can attend together or separately. Please telephone the register office to make an appointment on 01925 442762.
If you live in different districts then the Notices will be given in two separate areas.
After giving Notice you must wait a further 15 clear days before the marriage can take place (i.e. if notice is given on 1 July the marriage can take place on or after 17 July).
Notice(s) can be given up to 12 months before the date of your wedding.
Documents you will need to produce:
- Your passport OR birth certificate
- Proof of address, for example your driving licence, utility bill, rent book, council tax document
- If you have been married before, evidence to show how that marriage ended, for example decree absolute or if you have been widowed the death certificate of your husband or wife
