The Registration of Marriages (Amendment) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the Registration of Marriages Regulations 1986 and the Registration of Marriages (Welsh Language) Regulations 1986. They substitute new prescribed forms of notice and certificate for marriage to reflect the provisions of the Deregulation (Validity of Civil Preliminaries to Marriage) Order 1997, which allows most marriages to be solemnized up to twelve months after entry of notice in the marriage notice book.
