UK Marriage Registry Abroad

Post by AzimScot » Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:54 am

Hi,

I am a UK Citizen married in a non EU country. Do I and my wife still require to register my marriage with my local registry office?

Thanks.

No, but you can have your marriage documents deposited with the General Register Office (GRO).

This isn’t compulsory, but it means your marriage certificate is kept by the GRO as an official record and you will be able to easily get copies of it in the future.

We can deposit marriage documents for you.

Please note: you’ll need to get your documents translated if they’re not in English.
