Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Marriages Regulations 1986 and the Registration of Marriages (Welsh Language) Regulations 1986. They substitute new prescribed forms of notice and certificate for marriage to reflect the provisions of the Deregulation (Validity of Civil Preliminaries to Marriage) Order 1997, which allows most marriages to be solemnized up to twelve months after entry of notice in the marriage notice book.
They also consolidate certain amendments previously made to the form of instructions for the solemnization of a marriage in a registered building without the presence of a registrar and make certain transitional provision.
These Regulations impose no costs on business.
