Notes and General Information:

If either of you will not be 18 by the proposed date of the wedding, the priest will need to know whether the consent of parents has been obtained.

Please note that if you wish to be married in a church in an area in which you have no family connection, you are required by law to attend that church on a regular basis for six months prior to the calling of your banns of marriage.

If either of you live in a different parish from that in which the marriage is to take place, you must arrange for the banns to be read there too and obtain a banns certificate and the original brought to the wedding rehearsal.

If you are a foreign national an application can, be made for Common Licence, Superintendent Registrar’s Certificate or Archbishop’s Licence. There will be further forms to fill in, so speak to the priest conducting your service.

If you have been divorced or are a widow/er you will be required to show a Decree Absolute or your previous spouse’s Death Certificate.

All documents will be returned. Please note when supplying documentary evidence if any names have changed from what has been recorded; please explain why and how the changes took place providing documentary evidence for the change.
