Every person who marries in Scotland must complete and submit a marriage notice form to the registrar for the district in which they intend to be married.  Every person giving notice is required to sign a declaration to the effect that the particulars and information given on the notice are correct.

The registrar will check the marriage notice forms and accompanying documents.  The registrar will publish details on the list of intended marriages which is displayed in a prominent location in the registration office.

Only when the registrar is satisfied that all legal requirements have been met will a marriage schedule (the document which allows a marriage to take place) be prepared and issued to the bride or groom.
