Register a marriage venue application guidance

Changes to the approval as outlined in the Standard Conditions:

It's essential that you notify us in writing immediately should there be any changes as outlined in the standard conditions to be attached to the approval. Any changes are then notified to the Registrar General and all Registration Officers in the authority who take Notices of Marriage and Civil Partnership and who also receive Notices of Marriages and Civil Partnerships that have been taken outside the authority.

The way the premises are specified in the Notices may require an amendment that can only be made before the Certificate for Marriage or Schedule for Civil Partnership is issued.

Failure to notify us of changes will mean the legal documentation will show the details held on the current approval rather than the actual detail for example, any change of venue name.

Changes other than those in the Standard Conditions:

Once granted an approval cannot be varied other than for the items outlined in the Standard Conditions.

Should you wish to change the approval to add or remove ceremony rooms then you would need to submit a new application, along with the full application fee for the grant of an approval. Once granted you would then surrender the previous approval.
