What is a Certificate
of No Impediment?
This is a
document, required in some countries, which
states that there is no known impediment to your
proposed marriage. These certificates vary in
the length of time they are valid for (sometimes
just for a few months), so it is important to
check the requirements which apply to your
circumstances. Please also be aware that a
Certificate of No Impediment may be insufficient
on its own to allow a marriage to take place in
a foreign country.
This
certificate can be prepared by the Registrar at
any of register office.
The cost of this
certificate is £33.50 per person - you will need
to take various identification documents with
you, which will be explained to you when you
telephone to book the appointment.
Subject to
there being no complications, the actual
Certificate of No Impediment will be issued
between 17 and 23 days after your appointment.
