Islington Council

You are free to get married or form a civil partnership anywhere in England and Wales that is licensed for civil ceremonies. So if you would like to get married or form a civil partnership here in Islington, you are free to do so, no matter where you live.

 

If you are both European Union (EU) citizens and are resident in another district in England and Wales then you will need to give your notices to the Superintendent Registrar of the district in which you live (or have lived in the previous seven days). This must be done at least 16 days before the date of your ceremony. The notices will be displayed on the public notice boards of the Register Offices where the notices are given for 15 days. Only then can the authorities for marriage or schedule be issued. It is your responsibility to ensure that the marriage authorities or schedule are in the possession of the registrar who attends on the day of your ceremony. Otherwise the ceremony cannot take place.

 

The cost for notices is £33.50 each, which must be paid to the Superintendent Registrar at the time of giving notice.
