Marriage Notice Book
5. The prescribed particulars, in relation to a person to be taken from each marriage notice received by the registrar, shall be that person's -
(a) surname and name;

(b) address;

(c) marital status;

(d) date of birth; and

(e) date of intended marriage.


3. After the Superintendent Registrar has established that he can take notice of marriage, it is entered into a marriage notice book and a statutory form is displayed on a public notice board for 15 clear days. (This is the equivalent period that banns are published in the Church of England). The reason for this is to allow anyone who has any objection to the marriage to register his objection.

4. A certificate of marriage is then issued (Not a Marriage Certificate which is issued after the wedding) and held at register office until the day of marriage. If notice of marriage is given in two districts, then one should be collected by the couple as it will have to be produced before the ceremony can go ahead.

5. The marriage has to take place after 15 days and within one year of Notice of marriage having been given. If the marriage is postponed beyond the one year fresh notice will have to be given. (e.g. if notice is given on 1 July the marriage may take place on or after the 16 July)
