Certificates will only be issued where:

suitable identification is provided
fees are paid.

Am I eligible to apply for a certificate?

A person must be at least 16 years of age to apply for a certificate and must provide their identification.

See the Registry's Marriage Certificate Access Policy for your eligibility and specific requirements.

If you are not an eligible applicant you must provide the written consent or authority from an eligible person and you must also provide identification for yourself and the person for whom you are acting. (See Letter of Authority download below).

There is unrestricted access and no identification requirements are needed for marriages that occurred more than 60 years ago.
