Making a Booking

To make a booking, you first need to decide on a wedding date and choose a marriage room. Don't forget that you can visit the rooms first if you wish, by contacting the Town Sergeants' Office to make an appointment.

Once you've done this, you can make a booking with the Registrar, either by telephone or by calling in at the relevant registration office. Addresses and telephone numbers are provided in the Contact Information for Registrars and Area Offices page.

The Statutory Marriage Notice Forms must be submitted to the appropriate Registration Office no later than 15 days before the ceremony. These forms can be obtained from any Scottish Registration Office or you can download a copy of the Marriage Notice Form (Form M10).

When submitting the completed Marriage Notice Form you will be requested to provide your birth certificate for verification and additional documents depending on marital status and nationality.

There is no provisional booking fee. You will be requested to pay the full Marriage Fees when you complete and return the Statutory Marriage Notice Forms.

If the wedding is cancelled, only part of the fees are refundable. The Registrar will arrange for reimbursement to be made to you in the form of a cheque.
