Your FAQ

Question: I do not live on the Isle of Wight, but am getting married there. Do I need to send any documents to you once I have given notice?

Answer: You will need to give notice at your local Register Office. Sixteen days after giving notice, you will receive your authority. You can arrange with the Register Office for them to send this document directly to us, or alternatively you can colllect it, and post it yourself. If, due to time constraints (i.e. you are getting married very soon after the 16 days) you are unable to do this, you can bring the document with you on the day. We do prefer to have the document in advance, as without it you will not be able to get married.
