If you wish to marry in the Devon County Counciil area but you do not reside in England or Wales contact the Registration Office for the area where you would like to have your ceremony. Arrangements are easily made but there may be a number of documents which need to be produced for inspection prior to giving formal notice of marriage and some of these documents may require verification or in some cases translation. Details about the documents which may need to be produced are referred to under Marriage Arrangements - The Legal Preliminaries . You and your partner must reside in England and Wales for a period before the notice may be given so it is always best to contact the Registration Office as early as possible.
