A registration officer for the consular district, nominated by the Secretary of State for these purposes, must maintain a register and therein register every marriage solemnized in the consular district in accordance with this Order.

The entry in the register of every marriage must be signed by the registration officer solemnizing the marriage, by both the parties married and by two witnesses to the marriage.

Every nominated registration officer must, at such times as are determined by the Secretary of State, send to the Registrar General for England and Wales a copy of all the entries of marriages in the register kept by the registration officer entered since such details were last sent, and if there has been no such entry, confirmation of that fact.
