Answer: In general terms, if either party is subject to any form of UK immigration control then they cannot give notice of their marriage or civil partnership on the Island. If either party is from any other country not on the EEA list then they may have to get approval to marry in this country from the Home Office and will both have to give notice in a designated register office. (Our closest designated office is Southampton) tel. 023 8063 1422) The couple can still take up residency on the Island before giving notice.
