Where can the registrar marry us? Your chosen registrar will be able to officiate your marriage at any licensed premises or registry office for civil ceremonies. If your venue is not licensed (think a tipi, field or a beach wedding), you can marry beforehand at the registry office and celebrate a blessing on the day.

It’s up to the officiant to decide whether the person is a suitable witness or not. Some officiants prefer the witnesses to be over 18. Don’t despair, though, if the officiant says that your ‘witness’ can’t officially bear witness. You can choose anyone else from your wedding party to do the job instead.

Who can be witnesses? Anyone can be witnesses, as long as they understand what they’re witnessing. We therefore recommend that they speak English and are of an age to understand the meaning and purport of a marriage and civil partnership ceremony, however this is not set in law. They do not need to bring ID with them.

Anyone can be a witness provided they are over 18 years of age and they were actually present at the ceremony and witnessed the bride and groom sign the document. Oftentimes there are siblings or close friends who for one reason or another, are unable to be part of the bridal party. Consider using them as a witness.

A marriage license is a legal document obtained by a couple prior to marriage. Once you have filled it out, had your ceremony, gotten it signed, and your officiant has turned it back into the county, then you receive a marriage certificate.
