Book a registrar
About booking a registrar for your ceremony
You will need to book a registrar to perform any of the following ceremonies:
If you are marrying of forming a civil partnership, you will also need to book a notice appointment. Notice may be given up to a year in advance of your ceremony; we advise at least 4-6 months in advance.
What you need to do
To book a registrar for your ceremony you must complete the form below. This includes all marriages, civil partnerships and non-statutory ceremonies such as renewal of vows, and requests to convert a marriage to a civil partnership.
You must have chosen and provisionally booked your external venue before completing our booking form. If you wish to book a council room, we will book the venue and registrars together.
Find out about ceremony venues in our Venue finder section.
What happens when we receive your form
We use the information you provide to check registrar availability. We will then contact you to confirm the booking and take payment.
