What you will need

Everything below is checked when you submit. Having it ready before you start means you will not lose your place looking for it.

For each of you

  • Full name, date of birth, nationality and occupation.
  • Your residential address.
  • An email address and a telephone number.
  • An identification document. We accept:
    • National Identity Number — 11 digits.
    • International Passport — One letter followed by 8 digits.
    • Driver's Licence — 9 to 15 letters or digits.
    • Voter's Card — 9 to 20 letters or digits.
  • A passport photograph, meeting the requirements below.

The photograph

  • Square, between 400 and 1200 pixels on each side.
  • No larger than 200 KB.
  • A JPEG or JPG or PNG image.

The registry's standard is 2.00 x 2.00 inches printed at 300 dots per inch, which works out at 600 pixels square. An image file has no physical size of its own, so we check the pixel dimensions rather than claiming otherwise.

The date

Notice of your marriage has to be given before the marriage can take place. Your date must therefore be more than 21 days from the day you apply, and no more than 365 days ahead.

Marriages are conducted only on the days the registry is open, and each date holds a limited number. The application shows you what is available.

The fee

The application fee has not been published yet, so we cannot show you the amount. Please contact the registry for the current fee before you apply. Once you have submitted, your chosen date is held while you pay, for 72 hours.

Ages

Both parties must be at least 18 on the date of the marriage. Anyone under 21 must also give the name of the person consenting to the marriage.
