Decision Maker: Director of Governance and Legal Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Registration Service is a statutory service with responsibility for registering births, deaths and marriages within the county.
Non-statutory fees apply to the conducting of a marriage or civil ceremony at either a Register Office or approved venue, and the licensing of approved venues. These increases do not include the statutory register office ceremonies which the General Register Office set at £46.
Fees for the conducting of a ceremony were last reviewed and increased in May 2023, covering the period up to the end of 2025. Fees for 2026 need to be agreed along with increases in some other administrative fees.
