Staffordshire
Registration Service
Now you have made the decision to
spend your future together, Staffordshire
County Council have produced this
guide to help you plan your special day
and to make the choices that will make
your wedding as individual and unique
as the union it celebrates.
Often when planning their wedding
couples start by choosing the location,
there are 110 licensed venues where
you can marry, ranging from stately
homes to country pubs and 7 attractively
furnished Registration Offices these are
featured on pages 14-17.
This guide includes the legal requirements
of getting married. When planning your
wedding in Staffordshire we appreciate
you need to find services that are local
to you, information on a wide range of
services are detailed within the booklet.
The County Register Office is located
at Staffordshire Place in the heart of
Stafford town centre. The Boscobell
room provides a large contemporary
ceremony room that seats 50.
Stafford - 1 Staffordshire Place, Stafford, ST16 2LP

Once you have chosen the venue for
your marriage, you will need to reserve
the Registrar to attend the venue you
have chosen or to book the Registration
office. Our staff will help tailor the
ceremony to your requirements. We
have a choices booklet which makes
suggestions of the readings you may
wish to include and the promises you
can choose to make to each other.
If you wish to view the
ceremony room please call
0300 111 8001.
Giving Notice
Both you and the person you are marrying
are required to give separate notices of
marriage at a cost of £35 each. The
earliest you can give notice is 12 months
prior to the date of the marriage.
If your paperwork is complete and after
waiting a clear 15 days, an authority
for your marriage to take place will be
issued by the office where your notice
was given.
You must both have lived in any district
in England or Wales for seven full days
immediately before the date you give
notice of your marriage. It does not
matter if either of you moves to a different
address once you have given notice.
The authority is a legal document which
allows your marriage to take place and
is valid for 12 months from the date you
gave notice.
If you are giving notice in Staffordshire
you can visit any of our offices. Please
call 0300 111 8001 to make an
appointment.
If you live outside the county you must
give notice at the Registration Office
in the district where you have lived for
seven full days immediately prior to you
giving notice.
If you are marrying outside Staffordshire
but live in Staffordshire you must make
arrangements with the Office where you
intend to marry to book the time and
location. You then need to give notice at
one of the Staffordshire Offices listed on
pages 14-17.
The authority for marriage may be
collected from the office where notice
was given, However, you can request
that the “authority” be posted directly to
the office dealing with your ceremony or
home address.
If you are not a British citizen
It may be necessary for you to attend
an office which is called a Designated
Register Office to give notice of marriage
and the Registration Service will advise
on this.
Documents you need to show us
When you give notice of your marriage,
you need to be able to prove your identity.
Passports are ideal for this purpose. If
you do not hold or cannot produce a
passport, we will accept birth certificates
as proof of identity. However, if you are
using your birth certificate as proof of
identity, and you were born after January
1983 we will need to see a full copy of
your birth certificate and your mother’s
birth certificate.
If either of you has been married before,
either in this country or abroad you will
be required to provide evidence of the
termination of that marriage by death,
divorce or nullity. If your divorce papers
have not been issued in England or
Wales we will need to see not only the
original divorce document but also a
translation. There may also be a delay in
issuing the authority for marriage.
If either of you are under 18, we will
need to see proof that your parents (or
legal guardians) agree to the marriage. If
your parents are divorced, we may need
to see the court order that gives custody
to one of them. The Registrar can advise
you on this matter.
5
The Ceremony
Immediately before the ceremony the
Registrar will meet with you both in private,
(you can be seen separately if you prefer
and request so in advance) to establish
the details to be recorded in the marriage
register. Each of you will need to give your
father’s full name and occupation.
Can I be given away?
Civil Marriages are conducted in English.
However, if either of the parties to a
marriage is unable to speak or understand
English, an interpreter must be present. The
Registrar will be glad to discuss this with you
before the wedding day.
Can people take photos or videos of
the ceremony?
If you have hearing problems you may need
to have an interpreter or lip speaker at the
ceremony. The Registrar will be able to
provide more information when you book
your ceremony.
FAQ
Can we write our own vows?
You must say the legal vows at your
ceremony but you can choose to add some
extra words, if you wish. Please return them
with your choices to ensure they are included
in the ceremony.
6
Yes, of course. You can choose how to
start your ceremony, whether you wish to
be walked in by a member of your family
or whether you wish to enter together as a
couple.
We suggest that you have one main
photographer that takes official photographs
during the ceremony although we request
that the use of a flash is minimal. It is
possible for a video to be recorded of your
ceremony.
Can we have a ceremony in our back
garden?
Currently, the law requires that a marriage
and civil partnership ceremony must be held
at a licenced venue and so this prevents the
option to have a ceremony in your house.
To book your ceremony
please contact 0300 111 8001
Religious Ceremonies
Church of England
Other Religious Denominations
When you have set the date, make an
appointment to see the incumbent of the
church you intend to marry in.
Marriages which are conducted according
to the rite of other religious denominations
also require a notice of marriage to be
given to the Registrar. If the priest/minister
is not authorised to solemnise marriages,
a charge will be made for the Registrar to
attend of £84.00.
C of E clergy are authorised Registrars
so there is no need to give notice at the
Register Office. Banns are read in each
parish on three Sundays before the wedding
to announce your intention to marry.
Roman Catholic
If you wish to marry in a Catholic Church,
you need to speak to the parish priest
to make arrangements but a notice of
marriage must be given at your local
register office.
For more information please
contact 0300 111 8001

Weddings Abroad
If you wish to marry abroad, according
to the laws of that country, you must
ensure that you find out and follow
the regulations. To marry in another
country there are minimum residency
requirements and this will be built into the
overall length of your stay. Most countries
will need to see certain documents. The
embassy of the country where you wish
to be married should be contacted for
first hand information.
In some cases you will be asked for a
certificate of no impediment. This can
be obtained by giving notice to your
local Registration Office and you may
need to wait up to 21 clear days before
the certificate of no impediment can be
issued.
Although there is no expiry date printed
on these certificates, different countries
have their own rules and the certificate
may only be valid for a three month
period from the date of giving notice.
Information is given on www.fco.gov.uk
Whilst legally recognised, marriages
of British subjects in a foreign country
cannot be registered in England unless
one of the couple is a serving member of
or attached to the British Armed Forces
at the time of marriage.
However, where this is not the case, there
is provision for a record of the marriage
to be lodged with the General Register
Office (Telephone 0300 123 1837).
There is no time limit but only original
documents may be lodged and only
the British Consul for the district where
the marriage took place may send the
documents to the General Register
Office. This only applies to certain
countries, and where it is possible, a fee
is charged for this.
Where documents have been placed with
the General Register Office, marriage
certificates will be able to be obtained
from them at some time in the future.
A full list of these countries may be
viewed on www.gov.uk.
Changes to your passport
If a woman wishes to change the name
on her passport for use immediately after
the wedding, the Passport Office will
either issue a new standard UK passport
which will be valid from the date of the
wedding or alternatively will amend
her existing passport to show her future
married name. Neither of these will be
issued more than three months prior to
the marriage ceremony.
Application forms can be obtained from
the Post Office or downloaded from the
passport agency. Once the marriage
preliminaries have been completed, the
forms can be filled in by the applicant
and the Minister of Religion or Registrar
who is to celebrate the marriage. The
form should then be sent to the Passport
Office together with the application
for the passport or amendment to the
passport.
If you are going abroad on honeymoon,
remember to book air tickets etc. in the
name you will have in your passport at
the time of travelling.

Civil Partnerships
Who is eligible?
To have a civil partnership you must both
be of the same sex, not already be in a
Civil Partnership or marriage, be 16 years
of age or older, and not be related.
In England and Wales, individuals who
are aged 16 and 17 will have to obtain
the written consent of their parents (or
legal guardians) before registering a Civil
Partnership.
What happens at a Civil Partnership
Registration?
A Civil Partnership will be registered
once the couple have signed the Civil
Partnership document in the presence of a
Registrar and two witnesses.
Can we change our names after
registering a Civil Partnership?
After registering a Civil Partnership,
some people might want to change their
surname to that of their partner, or a couple
may choose to hyphenate their name.
Government departments and agencies
such as the Passport Agency and the DVLA
will accept Civil Partnership certificates in
the same way that they accept marriage as
evidence for changing names.
For more information there is a leaflet
on Civil Partnerships available by calling
0300 111 8001.
Can we have a ceremony?
Yes, you will be able to arrange a
ceremony in addition to the signing of the
legal documentation if you wish, but a
ceremony is not required under the Act. It
is up to you to decide. We will be able to
offer you a ceremony which could include
readings and promises of your own choice.
The ceremony can be held at any
Registration Office or the venues listed at
the back of the brochure.
10
Renewal of Marriage Vows
Say ‘I do’... again
This ceremony is for any married couple that
wish to celebrate renewing their marriage
vows in a unique and personal ceremony.
Often these ceremonies are associated
with a special wedding anniversary, such
as the tenth, twenty-fifth, fortieth, etc, but
the ceremony is just as appropriate for
couples at any stage of marriage.
To arrange a ceremony please
phone 0300 111 8001.
Renewal of marriage vows ceremonies are
available at Registration Offices and all of
the venues listed in this brochure.
It is sometimes particularly relevant to
those who have been through a period
which put a strain on their relationship,
but who wish to celebrate their renewed
commitment to each other or for couples
who have married abroad and wish to
include their family and friends.

Re-registration
According to law, a child’s birth will
need to be re-registered if the parents
have entered into a marriage or civil
partnership with each other since the
birth. At this time, a new birth record will
be created showing the child as a child of
the parents marriage or civil partnership,
replacing the original registration and all
future copy birth certificates will be issued
from this new record.
To complete the re-registration, both
parents need to fill in a form LA1 which
can be obtained from any Register Office
in England or Wales. Once you have both
completed and signed the form, you need
to send it to the Register Office where
you would like to have the re-registation
appointment, together with the child’s
birth certificate and your marriage/civil
partnership certificate. If you have more
than one child, you will need to complete
an LA1 form for each child.
You do not have to return to the same
Register Office where you originally
registered your child’s birth. The new birth
record will still have to be entered in their
registers, but if you have moved since
your child was born, you can complete
a re-registration appointment at the
Register Office most convenient to your
new location. That office will take all of
the relevant information from you and
forward it on your behalf to the Register
Office holding the original birth entry for
processing - this is called a declaration.
You will need to book an appointment
to re-register your child or children at
any of our Register Offices and it can
only happen after your marriage or civil
partnership ceremony has taken place;
re-registration cannot be completed in
advance.
To obtain an LA1 form or if you
have any queries on re-registration,
please call 0300 111 8001.
Only one parent needs to attend the reregistration appointment (although both
are welcome) and there is no charge for
this service. The only cost that you will
incur is if you wish to purchase a new, full
birth certificate for your child which you
will need for many official purposes, such
as passport applications.
Naming Ceremonies
When families are celebrating the birth of
a new baby, a Naming Ceremony is an
opportunity to welcome the new child into
the family or to celebrate the joining of a
new family.
You will be able to choose unique
promises to make to your child and select
supporting adults from friends and family
and also include grandparents within the
ceremony.
There are a wide selection of poems,
readings and promises that can be
included in the ceremony and read by the
celebrant or family and friends.
To arrange a ceremony please phone
0300 111 8001.
Naming Ceremonies are available at
Registration Offices and all of the venues
listed in the brochure.

at the enchanting estate of
Shugborough.
Set in 900 acres of quintessentially English
parkland and gardens, the fine Georgian
Mansion House stands proudly against
the breath-taking backdrop of aromatic
lavender formal terraces leading down
to a lazy, meandering river.
Shugborough offers a truly, personal

larger celebrations of up to 70 guests.
The friendly, professional wedding coordinators have been hosting estate
weddings for over a decade and are

The Complete Working Historic Estate
of Shugborough was built in 1693 and
was the ancestral home of the Earls of
Lichfield.
The estate’s glorious parkland was
carved out of the ancient hunting forest
of Cannock Chase and the family built
a unique collection of monuments and
follies, based on buildings in Greece,
Rome and China, upon it.
For a truly romantic and small ceremony,
Shugborough has opened up the
fairytale Tower of the Winds in the
parkland. This octagonal building boasts
a unique turquoise and gilt ceiling and
360 degree views of the estate.
In its Georgian heyday, the home was
one of the grandest, most exclusive
country houses in England entertaining
some of Britain’s most influential people.
Today the estate is an award winning
tourist attraction and popular wedding
venue administered by Staffordshire
County Council and owned by National
Trust.
In addition, Shugborough is also able
to cater for some receptions within its
tearoom.
The Mansion House is an elegant setting
boasting fine collections of china, silver
and furniture inside its grand state
rooms. The civil ceremony takes place
in the Saloon, which boasts plush deep
red carpets, grand fireplaces and views
extending out over the stunning formal
terraces to the river beyond.

The
Old Cheese
Shop
Hartington
Our cheese wedding cakes make a great alternative to a traditional wedding cake and are always a
talking point at any wedding.
The cakes can serve up to 200 people and the layered cheeses can be decorated with fruit, flowers
or figures to complement your wedding theme. They are often served after the main meal as an
extra course and the remaining cheese can then be added to the buffet table in the evening.
Alternatively you may want fewer tiers for a second cake to be used in the evening and still have
your traditional fruit wedding cake in the day.
Every person has their own individual taste and style and we leave it to your own creativity!
Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help with all your wedding cake requirements.
