If you don't have all the required evidence to give notice of marriage in Stoke, it's best to discuss this at the time of booking. They will provide guidance on what can be done or what alternative documentation may be acceptable.
For your reference, here's a summary of the required documents:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Partner's Evidence | Valid Passport OR Full Birth Certificate; if born after 1 Jan 1983, also need parent’s birth certificate if married or mother's if not. |
| Proof of Address | Valid driving licence, recent utility bill, or bank statement. |
| Evidence Ended Previous Marriage | Divorce Document/Final Order/Annulment or Civil Partnership Dissolution. |
| Death Certificate | Of your late spouse or civil partner, if applicable. |
| Name Change Documentation | Possible requirement for Change of Name Deed or Marriage Certificate. |
| Non-British Nationals | Documentation may differ; further checks may be needed. |
All documentation needs to be original as electronic copies are not acceptable. If you need to clarify or discuss documentation, it’s important to do so when booking your notification appointment. For more information, you can visit Stoke's marriage notice page.
