The provisions governing registration of solemnisers are contained in Part 6 of the Civil Registration Act 2004, as amended.

This Part sets out that only members of a religious or secular body, or members of staff of the HSE, may become a Registered Solemniser. A religious or secular body must apply to the General Register Officer by nominating a member of that body to perform marriage ceremonies.

I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
