Copy of certificates

Marriage certificates

You can order copies of your marriage certificate after your marriage or civil partnership ceremony or registration. 

Certificates cost £12.50 per copy.

Delivery

We will send your certificate by 2nd class post within 7 working days of receiving your order. It's not possible to pick up certificates from our registration offices.

Order

If you were married in a church or place of worship, please provide the full name and address of the location to help us accurately find your marriage record.

Correcting a mistake

Mistakes can sometimes occur on certificates we issue. We can only correct mistakes for registrations originally made in North Northamptonshire.

If you believe there’s an error on your certificate, you'll need to provide evidence from the time of registration showing the correct information.

If it's our mistake, there is no charge. If it's your mistake, the fee to apply for a correction is £99.

Submit a correction request

Once you have the supporting evidence, email the Registration Service at [email protected] with:

• your name, address, telephone number, and email
• the name(s), date, and type of certificate you want to correct
• details of the correction needed
• details of the evidence that you will be submitting to support your request

The correction process may vary, and we'll contact you to discuss your case and explain the next steps. Submitting an application does not guarantee it will be accepted.
