Can one Person apply for Common Licence?

by debbieoye | 9 April, 2009 - 14:57

Hi There,
I'm asking a question on behalf of a friend. They want to get marriage in c of e, the couple has seen a vicar & already given them a date but first need to apply for a special licence.

Can one person go to the diocese to apply for the licence, as the partner has to travel for couple of weeks?

Thanks & looking forward to the reply

Debbie

Hi Debbie
Yes one person can go to the surrogate or diocesan registry and confirm details on oath. Make sure you know what kind of licece you are requesting as you've mentioned both Common and Special licences, which are different.
A licence only lasts three months so make sure the traveller is back before it expires.
Hope this helps
kind regards
