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. When you attend your ceremony, you can update us with your new address so it can be printed on your certificate.
