Register of Marriage Services

This register of marriage services allows churches to keep a record of all wedding ceremonies conducted, in line with the requirements introduced in May 2021. The requirement to make a record applies where a marriage has been solemnized according to the rites of the Church of England, in a church or chapel in which banns may be published, irrespective of the form of preliminary used. It gives space to record: - the date and place of the marriage;

- the name and surname of each party;

- the date of birth of each party;

- the occupation of each party;

- the address of each party at the time of marriage;

- the names of the party's parents (with space for up to eight);

- the names of the witnesses;

- the name and signature of the member of the clergy who solemnized the marriage.
