Registrars Homepage

In addition to registration of births, deaths and marriages, the Registrars also conduct civil marriage ceremonies in Marischal College,  Aberdeen's historic Town House, and in licensed venues throughout Aberdeen City. 

We are based at the office in Aberdeen City Centre.

We also offer a genealogy/family history research service.
