Reforms set to bring marriage formalities into the 21st century Date:19 MAR 2021
Mothers’ details will be included on marriage certificates for the first time from May 2021.
The Government is set to reform the law around the information to be contained within marriage certificates. A new system of marriage registration will form part of the reforms to the Civil Partnerships, Marriages and Deaths Act 2019 which are due to come into force in a few weeks’ time.
The marriage register will also be transferred online as part of the reforms.
Marriage certificates: outdated and archaic?
Traditionally, marriage certificates have included information regarding newlyweds’ fathers only – their names, ages and their occupation. There has been no mention of mothers (or a second parent, regardless of gender).
