Article 15 Issuing a certificate of no impediment by the superintendent registrar

The superintendent registrar must retain every notice and declaration made under article 15 and display a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place for the same period preceding the issuing of the certificate of no impediment as would be required if the marriage were to be solemnized in England and Wales.

The superintendent registrar must, upon payment of a fee, issue a certificate of no impediment unless the superintendent registrar considers there is reason to believe there would be an impediment to the marriage if it were to take place in England and Wales.

The fee payable under paragraph (2) shall be the same fee as is for the time being payable for an entry in the marriage notice book under section 27(6) of the Marriage Act 1949.
