The latest issue of the General Register Office Clergy Newsletter February 2019 was issued recently.

Of particular note to clergy is that the fee for the issue of a Marriage Certificate has been increased to £11.00 with effect from 16 February and that the two-tier fee system for church weddings has been replaced with a single fee regardless of when the Certificate is issued (ie, whether issued at the wedding ceremony itself or afterwards).
