Registrar fees

There is a non-refundable booking fee of £60 (registration office) or £100 (venue) for civil marriage and civil partnership ceremonies. This must be paid within 14 days of making a booking. Payment can be by calling the office and paying by debit or credit card.

All fees include the statutory fees set by the Registrar General for Scotland. These include:

  • £45 per marriage notice (M10) 
  • and £10 for marriage certificate.

If you are having a religious or belief ceremony, you must pay the statutory fee plus any fee due to the celebrant conducting your ceremony.

If you decide to cancel the ceremony after lodging all the paperwork with the registration office, we will only refund the cost of the marriage certificate.
