Notice of Civil Partnership appointment
Booking a civil partnership notice appointment
A notice is a legal statement that must be given individually by each of you prior to your ceremony.
Notices are venue specific, valid for 12 months and must be given in the registration district where you live.
By continuing and making a booking for a notice appointment you are confirming that you:
- have read all the guidance on our website
- both have all the required documentation and can meet the residency requirements
- have already made a ceremony booking with the relevant registration office, minister or venue
- agree to our terms and conditions
Please note: non-UK and citizens with no EUSS status must contact the service via email to book a notice appointment registrationservice.ncc@northnorthants.gov.uk
Further guidance can be found here.
Demand for appointments can be high so we advise you book your notice appointment up to 12 months ahead of your ceremony date. Your ceremony cannot be confirmed until notice has been given and an authority issued after the notices have been displayed publicly for 28 or 70 clear days.
Notices are only valid for 12 months so please ensure you do not make your appointment more than 12 months ahead of your ceremony date.
If your ceremony is in the next 6 weeks please contact us before booking your appointment
