In section 35 of the M1Marriage Act 1949 (marriages in registration district in which neither party resides) after subsection (2) there shall be inserted—

“(2A)

A superintendent registrar may issue a certificate or, if the marriage is to be by licence, a certificate and licence, for the solemnization of a marriage in the office of another superintendent registrar, notwithstanding that the office is not within a registration district in which either of the persons to be married resides.

(2B)

A superintendent registrar may issue a certificate or, if the marriage is to be by licence, a certificate and licence, for the solemnization of a marriage on approved premises, notwithstanding that the premises are not within a registration district in which either of the persons to be married resides.”

For section 36 of that Act (superintendent registrar to issue licences only for marriages to be solemnized in his registration district) there shall be substituted—

“36 Superintendent registrar not normally to issue licences for marriages in registered buildings outside his district.

Subject to section 35 of this Act, a superintendent registrar shall not issue a licence for the solemnization of a marriage in a registered building which is not within his registration district.”
