When to apply for a correction

You cannot apply for a correction if you have changed your mind about the information originally recorded, or to show new information if circumstances change after the marriage or civil partnership.

If the mistake was made when copying information from the marriage register to the marriage certificate – you can order new certificates to replace the incorrect ones.

Before you apply for a correction

Make sure you read the GOV.UK advice on correcting marriage registrations – as there are no refunds if we are unable to correct the  registration.
