Hello Sarah-Jane Yes im a UK bride! I dont think we do, i think we 'Deposited' our marriage documnets in the UK when we get them Can I register an overseas marriage in the UK when I return? No, but you can have your marriage documents deposited with the General Register Office (GRO). This isn’t compulsory, but it means your marriage certificate is kept by the GRO as an official record and you will be able to easily get copies of it in the future. We can deposit marriage documents for you. Please note: you’ll need to get your documents translated if they’re not in English.
