What are the criteria for acceptance into the GRO NI Register of Solemnisers?

To be eligible for entry onto the GRO NI Register of Solemnisers, you must have at least one wedding booking in Northern Ireland at the time of nomination. You must also provide the couple's names, their confirmed wedding date and their chosen venue, in order for you to be added to the regester.

‍

The couple who have booked with you must have given 28-days notice to the GRO NI that you will be the solemniser for their marriage, or the booking will not be valid for entry into the register.

‍

To have your nomination paper put forward by FuturFaith Ministry, you must have graduated successfully from our online course. It is not a requirement that you must be ordained to enter the register. You must also have current and valid Public Liability insurance in place at the time of nomination.

‍

In order to be entered into the GRO NI Register of Solemnisers, and to maintain your position on the register, you must pay and continue to pay the monthly FuturFaith Ministry membership. Failure to pay this membership will result in your removal from the register.
