The Registration Office is operating an appointment only service (link opens in new window).

You can contact us at these times:

You must give at least 28 days’ notice to get married or to register your civil partnership. If you don't give this in time, you may need to postpone your marriage or civil partnership.

You must also make an appointment to register your baby’s birth.

Appointments take place at the Registration Office in Belfast City Hall.
