Your FAQ

Question: Do we have to give any formal Notice?

Answer: Before a civil partnership can take place, couples must give formal Notice of their intention to enter into this partnership. This must be given to the local register office in the district where you have been living for at least the last 8 days.


A non-refundable booking fee of £30 is payable to secure a venue, date and time with the Isle of Wight Register Office

Once the notice has been given, a period of fifteen clear days must elapse before the Schedule (authority for the partnership to take place) can be issued. This is valid for one year. The Notice and Schedule will state the place in which the Civil Partnership will take place and if you wish to change the venue then new Notices will have to be given.
