EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Marriage (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 1997 to substitute a new Marriage Notice form (Form M10) into those Regulations.

The new form is amended to reflect that, in future, civil partnerships registered outwith Scotland may be changed into marriages in Scotland by virtue of the Qualifying Civil Partnership Modification (Scotland) Order 2015. The amendments relate to the information that is required to be provided where such a change is to take place.
