I don’t live in Westminster, can I still get married in this borough? 

Yes, of course. You will need to give notice in your home borough. Read more here

If you live abroad and are having a 'destination wedding' in London, you must give notice in the UK. See our blog post on how to get married for more information on this.

 

How do I make arrangements to give my notice of intention to marry / form a civil partnership?

If you live in Westminster, please see here to book an appointment. 

If you do not live in Westminster (or live abroad and will be establishing residency in a different district to Westminster) please contact your local register office.

 

I have given my notice of intention. Will you let me know when it has been issued? 

No. We will only contact you if there has been a problem with your notice. If you have given notice elsewhere for a ceremony in Westminster, we will be automatically informed that you have done so - you don’t need to inform us.

 

Do I need to give notice again if I move house between giving notice and the day of my wedding/civil partnership?

No, you do not need to give notice again as long as your ceremony is taking place at the same venue within 12 months of giving notice.
