Lodging Civil Partnership Notice Forms
Your marriage cannot take place without the submission of your legal civil partnership notices.

You should lodge the necessary notice forms and supporting documents 6-8 weeks before the date of your civil partnership. The documents must be submitted no later than 29 days prior to your chosen date of civil partnership to allow you to fulfil your legal notice period.
If you are subject to immigration control, the Home Office have the authority to increase the statutory notice period to 71 days in certain circumstances. You should give 11-12 weeks notice if this may apply.
You cannot lodge your notice forms more than 3 months before the date of your registration.
