Both parties have to give notice in person in the district you each live in. Normally if you are getting married in the Church of England or Wales, the priest will give Notice of Marriage on your behalf.

Please note:

• If you marry without giving notice, your marriage will not be legally recognised here and abroad
• You need at least seven days residence in a district before giving notice of marriage
• The Notice of Marriage must state the venue where the marriage will take place
  

Documents needed:
