Civil Ceremonies from Tamworth

A valid marriage must be solemnized in a place that has been sanctioned according to law for the celebration of marriage.

For all marriages in Tamworth (except those taking place in a Church of England or the Church in Wales ) legal preliminaries must be completed at a register office before the marriage can take place.

Before you can marry anywhere in England and Wales, apart from a marriage in a Church of England you must each give notice of your intention to marry . A 'notice' is a legal document identifying the two people getting married and the place of marriage. It is called a Notice of Marriage and usually must be entered personally at the Register Office for the area (such as Tamworth) in which you live.

Both the bride and groom must sign the 'notice of marriage' . Therefore you cannot ask a friend or relative to give your notice for you. Each party to the marriage must give a separate 'notice of marriage' personally.

Once a notice is entered, it remains valid for a set period (normally twelve months), so you cannot give your notice until you are within that period. The notice will then be published in the Register Office for a period of 15 days. After this period, another document called a 'marriage authority' will be issued.

This document is the legal clearance and allows your marriage to take place.

Two authorities will be required for a marriage to take place.
