CIVIL REQUIREMENTS FOR MARRIAGE 

You both must arrange with the Registrar of Marriages to meet in person so as to give notice of your intention to get married at least three months in advance of the proposed marriage date.

In advance of meeting the registrar, meet one of the local clergy, book the church and know the name of the priest (solemniser) who has agreed to celebrate the Marriage

Receive the Marrriage Registration Form (MRF) from the civil registrar – without this document no Marriage can take place.

Show the MRF to the Priest (solemniser) to check that details are correct

Make the verbal declaration of no civil impediment not more than two days before Marriage.

Return the signed MRF to any civil registrar no later than one month after the wedding.
