If you are planning to get married one of the things that you are required to do before the ceremony can take place is to secure the correct documentation.
For example after you have given your notice of marriage you will be required to produce proof of identification for both you and your fiancé.
A passport, birth certificate or driving licence are considered ideal identity proofs, although certain other documents are acceptable, your local registry office should be able to confirm which other forms of ID they will accept. (This includes supporting documentation if either party has legally changed their name by deed poll).
If either party has been married previously whether in the UK or in any other country, documentation to confirm how the marriage ended must also be produced.
If bride or groom has been divorced in England or Wales, the original and final divorce documentation or the Decree Absolute is required, and if either party has been divorced in another country, final divorce documentation must be produced, including an English translation of the papers if necessary.
In the event that either of the couple to he married has been widowed, the registrar will need to see an original copy of a death certificate.
Lastly, if you or your intended are under the age of 18, the written consent of either your parents or a legal guardian is necessary.
