When two persons wish to get married, it is essential for them to give a written Notice of Marriage on the prescribed form in advance at a Marriage Registry, whether the marriage is to take place at a Marriage Registry or in a licensed place of public worship. The notice will be exhibited at the Marriage Registry where it is given and also at the Marriage Registration and Records Office for at least 15 clear days. If no objection is received after that period, the marriage may take place within a period of 3 months, otherwise the notice becomes void and fresh notice must be given. In order to ensure that every member of the public will have a fair chance to choose a desired day for marriage, appointments for marriage ceremonies are given on a first-come-first-served basis. The marrying parties may make use of the internet or the telephone booking system to make an appointment for giving of marriage notice within 14 days prior to the 3-month notice-giving period. For enquiry, members of the public may call the Information and Liaison Section at 2824 6111; by fax at 2877 7711 or by E-mail: enquiry@immd.gov.hk ; or visit the Immigration Department website: http://www.immd.gov.hk. |
