Booking your Wedding
Appointment Times
Each register office
runs its own appointment system for weddings and you are
advised to contact the Superintendent Registrar of the district
in which you wish to marry to check availability. All offices
are open from 10.00 am - 4.00 pm on Saturdays.
Please arrange to
arrive with your guests at least ten minutes before the time
of your marriage. If you or your guests are late, you will
disrupt other weddings and you may have to make a fresh appointment.
If you are unable to attend on the appointed day, please
contact the register office as soon as possible.
Witnesses
You will need to
ask two people, who may be friends or relatives, if they
will witness your marriage. They should be over the age of
16 and must be able to understand the ceremony.
The Ceremony
Immediately before
the ceremony the Registrar will interview you both in private,
(you can be seen separately if you prefer and request so
in advance) to establish the details to be recorded in the
marriage register. Each of will need to give your father’s
full name and occupation.
The Registrar will
also collect the fee from you.
Civil Marriages
are conducted in English. However, if either of the parties
to a marriage is unable to speak or understand English, an
interpreter must be present. The Registrar will be glad to
discuss this with the couple before the wedding day.
If both parties
do speak and understand English but the family and guests
do not, they may still choose to provide an interpreter so
that everyone can understand the whole proceedings.
Staffordshire County
Council Registration Service is working in partnership with
Deaflinks in supporting your communication needs. If you
are profoundly deaf or have hearing problems a qualified
interpreter or lipspeaker can be provided to assist you with
your needs. Please ask the local Register Office for more
information.
(Saturdays at all Register
Offices by appointment. All Register Offices have wheelchair
access)
