If you have decided to be married by civil ceremony on Anglesey you can be assured of an individual and special ceremony tailored to your own requirements.
Notices of marriage and civil partnerships
You will need to give formal notice to ensure that you are legally free to marry or form a civil partnership.
Your notices will usually be given at your local register office in the area where you live, but there are some exceptions, such as:
- if you live outside Wales or England, please contact us for advice on where and when to give notice
- if you are a foreign national, please contact us for advice on where and when to give notice
You must give notice at least 28 days before the date of your ceremony and you must know where you are getting married.
This can increase to 70 days depending on your immigration status.
For this reason, we advise you give your notices at least 3 months before your ceremony.
The formal notice will be displayed on a public notice board in the area where you have given your notice. If you give notice in Anglesey it will be displayed at The Register Office, Llangefni. Anglesey registration district comes under ‘Ynys Môn’.
At the end of the notice period, the Registration Service will then prepare your schedule, the document that gives you legal authority to marry or enter into a civil partnership.
Church in Wales and Church of England
If you are marrying in the Church of England or Church in Wales by Banns or Common Licence, you should contact your vicar regarding any necessary legal preliminaries.
Chapel, civil ceremonies and other churches
If you are marrying in any other sort of church or chapel or by civil ceremony in a Register Office or approved venue, notice of marriage has to be given personally to your local Superintendent Registrar.
Civil partnerships
Any couple that registers a civil partnership has the same rights as a married couple in areas like tax, social security, inheritance and workplace benefits.
Getting registered in Wales and England?
- Get advice and information from Direct Gov.
- Decide where you want to register. For instance, at a register office or an approved venue like a hotel.
- Fix the date, but check that a registrar can attend if you have chosen an approved venue.
- Arrange to give notice of your intention to register to the registration authority where each of you live.
- You each have to give notice at least 28 clear days before the date for registering.
- Get registered. Sign the legal document in front of the registrar and your two witnesses.
