| Principles: | In order to fulfil the necessary requirements for the three month notification of an intention to marry, evidence of identity is required under Section 46(7) of the Civil Registration Act 2004. It is not a breach of fair procedures for a registrar to require a person to submit evidence of identity and an identity document such as a passport and it is open to a registrar to consider whether or not the requirements of Section 46(7) have been met. |
