Where to give notice

If both of you are British, Irish or have EUSS (settled status, pre-settled status or has a pending application for settled status)

You must give notice at a register office in the district where you have lived for at least the last seven days.

If you and your partner live in different registration districts, you’ll need to give notice separately. You don’t have to do this on the same day.

If you pay your council tax to Southampton City Council, you must give notice with Southampton City Council. If you pay your council tax to Portsmouth City Council, you must give notice with Portsmouth City Council.

If one or both of you are NOT British, Irish or have EUSS (settled status, pre-settled status or has a pending application for settled status)

You will need to attend the register office together in the district where one of you lives. To enable us to help you book this appointment, please complete the enquiry form, giving as much information as possible. A member of the team will then contact you, to arrange for you both to give notice.
