From tomorrow, marriage certificates will no longer be issued at the time of the marriage. A Marriage Document will be completed by the person conducting the ceremony. This will include space for up to 4 parents, or step parents, including the mothers name and occupation. It will be signed after the ceremony as now, then it has to be lodged at the local Register Office within 21 days, where it will be entered online. They recommend hand delivery for this rather than post. |

But I don't think doing away with paper certificates is good. Think of all those certs we excitedly perused. I am pleased I still have them all to look at. Won't be the same getting a digital print out. |

It was only in August 2014 that, as a result of a petition, David Cameron instructed the civil service to investigate implementing the addition of the mother's name. |

I take it that one will no longer be asked to show their marriage certificate for various things, like they do now. |

As far as I can tell from all the paperwork I've been sent, the celebrants are the same as before. |

I read somewhere tjhis morning was that the advise was to 'hand deliver' the document. Which is probably safer to do it yourself then expect the drunk family member to remember it is their pocket/handbag. |
