These Regulations amend the Births, Deaths, Marriages and Divorces (Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 to raise the fee for the submission of a marriage notice from £20 to £25 (regulation 3).

The Regulations also set fees for the submission of a notice of proposed civil partnership and for a civil partnership registration (regulation 4 and Schedule 1). They set fees for searches and the issuing of extracts of entries in the civil partnership register and the Register of Dissolutions of Civil Partnership (regulations 5 to 8 and Schedules 2 to 3).
