Weddings, ceremonies and birth registrations
Birth registrations are currently taking place. Death registrations are being made by phone.
Following the latest government announcement, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies should not take place except in exceptional circumstances, for example where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover ('deathbed wedding') or due to undergo debilitating treatment or life-changing surgery. These weddings are limited to six people.
