Questions & Answers<br />
Immigration Control<br />
If one of you is subject to immigration control, for example staying in the UK on a visa,<br />
then you will need further documents and to follow special procedures. You will need to<br />
make an appointment to give your Notice at Lincoln Register Office. If any documents<br />
are not in the English language, please provide a certified translation. You must bring<br />
original documents with you to your appointment as photocopies will not be accepted.<br />
To make further enquiries or to make an appointment contact our Customer Service<br />
Centre on 01522 782244.<br />
For more information about Immigration related issues contact the Immigration and<br />
Nationality Bureau on 0870 606 7766 or go to www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk<br />
<strong>Ceremony</strong> Plan<br />
When you have given your Notices to the Registration Officer you will receive an A4<br />
booklet which contains the choices for your ceremony wording and the ceremony plan.<br />
The ceremony plan must be completed and returned to the Registration Office conducting<br />
your ceremony six weeks before the ceremony is due to take place. If your ceremony is<br />
taking place in a Licensed Venue, or an enhanced ceremony in a Registration Office, full<br />
payment must also be returned at this time.<br />
Authority for Marriage<br />
After your Notices have been given to the Registration Officer, they will be displayed<br />
publicly at Lincoln Register Office for a period of 15 clear days.<br />
At the end of this 15 day waiting period the Authority of Marriage can be issued by<br />
the Superintendent Registrar. This is the legal document giving permission for the said<br />
marriage to take place. Without the Authority the marriage cannot go ahead.<br />
• If you both live in <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> and the wedding is taking place in a <strong>Lincolnshire</strong><br />
Registration Office or a <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> Licensed Venue, the Superintendent Registrar will<br />
organise the safe delivery of your two Authorities to the Registration Officer conducting<br />
your marriage prior to your ceremony day. No further action is required by the bride<br />
or groom.<br />
• If the bride and groom both live in <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> but the wedding is taking place out of<br />
the county, the Authorities will be posted by us to you. It will be your responsibility to<br />
arrange the safe delivery of your two Authorities for Marriage to the person who will be<br />
conducting your ceremony. If you are posting these documents we suggest that you<br />
send them via recorded delivery.<br />
• If you live outside <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> and your wedding ceremony is taking place in a<br />
<strong>Lincolnshire</strong> Registration Office or a <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> Licensed Venue, it is your responsibility<br />
to ensure safe delivery of the Authorities to the Registration Office conducting your<br />
ceremony. If you are posting these documents we suggest that you send them via<br />
recorded delivery.
