Due to the new national lockdown, all ceremonies are postponed until further notice - unless there are exceptional circumstances, due to ill health for example. These must only take place with a maximum of 6 people where the ceremony can be delivered safely in COVID-19 secure venues (this includes the couple, witnesses and guests, but those working, such as registration officials and venue managers, are not included).
You can change your ceremony date free of charge with us - please speak to your venue or email us at register_office@bathnes.gov.uk. You can also contact us (details above) to apply to reduce the waiting period (if needed).
Death registrations are temporarily being taken over the telephone. Visit our web page for more details
Citizenship ceremonies take place on Thursday mornings at 10am. To book a ceremony, call us on 01225 47 72 34 (9am to 3.45pm, Monday to Friday). You can also book a private or virtual ceremony at other times for a fee of £120.
European settlement checking is postponed, but our European partners and their European and non- European family members can still apply for settled and pre-settled status on the GOV.UK website
