We will check the dates before contacting you to make payment to book your date and let you know what to do next.

You will have to submit your completed and signed notice of intended marriage application form along with proof of ID and eligibility documents. Bring these along to your interview appointment. If you can’t come to an interview appointment, you can tell us when completing the request below.

If we don’t receive your application and supporting documents at least 1 month before your ceremony date, you will not be able to have your ceremony on your chosen date.
