Registration of marriage
Care and disposal of marriage registers (England and Wales)
For marriages in England & Wales the requisite marriage register books will be supplied in duplicate to registering officers from the office of the Registrar General, whose address may be obtained from the Recording Clerk or the local superintendent registrar. When the duplicate register books are filled, one of them is to be delivered to the superintendent registrar of the district to which the registering officer has been assigned by the Registrar General; the other is to remain under the care of the area meeting, and is to be kept with their other records (4.40.c). This procedure is not necessary in Scotland, although registering officers there do need to obtain copies of the certificates.
