Weddings, ceremonies and birth registrations
Birth registrations are currently taking place. Death registrations are being made by phone.
From 21 June 2021, the number of people who can attend a wedding or civil partnership will be decided by how many people the venue can safely accommodate. This will be based on a COVID-19 risk assessment of the venue and the measures put in place to limit the risk of transmission.
There will no longer be a maximum number of 30 people.
Our registration service is open, including Medway Register Office.
