Basically, you have to be able to prove who you are, how old you are and where you were born. |

The minimum legal age for getting married is 16 years old. In England and Wales the written consent of the parents or Guardians is required for persons who have not reached 18 years old and have not been previously married. If either of the persons is below 18 a birth certificate must be produced. It is preferred that all persons produce such evidence. |

If they were both 21 &over 1930/40 then no proof would have been needed,, |

there seems no definate answer maybe I had a stickler as a registrar, they wouldnt even let me take my vows in my maiden name. |

My cousin chose to remarry using her maiden name in 1986 and it is her maiden name that is shown on the registration, as it was the name that she used then. |

can anyone help when a couple apply to get married are they asked to provide their birth cert, therefore they have to get married in that surname of which they were born in unless they had been married previously. |
