You must be the owner of the premises. You must also apply online or in writing, and give details such as your name and address, a plan of the room where the ceremonies will hold and other information required.

To get a licence, you must submit your application with all the information required and your premises must be considered suitable.

However, your application may still be refused if there are too many approved premises in the area for the registrars to attend.

Please note: You’ll need to make a new application if you need to transfer or change your licence.
