Do registry offices accept a letter from a hotel manager as proof of residence?
We live abroad and therefore do not have an address in the UK where we’re getting married. My grandmother lives in London though.
I love my nan but I don’t think I could stay with her for 9 days, so I thought we could stay in a hotel. But I can’t seem to find any official information detailing what couples in our situation do. There is a bullet point basically saying the owner of the property can sign a letter confirming your stay so I’m assuming a hotel manager could do that for us. But I don’t want to assume. Loads of couple come to get legally married in the UK so there must be a way!
I did also wonder if I could get my nan to sign a letter confirming our stay but we could stay in a hotel. I mean, who’s checking?! We will still be at her house visiting at least. Uh this rule seems so archaic 🫠.
But yeah, if anyone else has been in our boat, let me know what you did!
