Can anyone advise how long it took for them to receive their marriage certificate after their civil ceremony? I get married on a Thursday so wondering how long it will take to arrive as I need to apply for a new passport asap

    I got married on a Saturday and the 2 certificates I had pre-paid for arrived the following Wednesday. They said on the day that they would input everything into the system on the Monday morning and then allow a few days with Royal Mail and they were right.

    Unless your registry office has a backlog, they should produce the certificate the next working day but with the weekend it could be Monday/Tuesday before it arrives with you.

    Also my new passport arrived within 2 weeks of my application, and that was with the Royal Mail strikes going on. So their processing time is quite good at the moment.
