How many witnesses you need

The number depends on the route, but plan for witnesses who can attend in person on the appointment day. We confirm the exact count for your case in advance so there are no surprises.

Who can be a witness

A witness is generally an adult who can verify your identity and carry valid photo identification — commonly a friend or family member. What matters is that they are present and properly identified.

What they must bring

Each witness should carry an original government photo ID on the day. Photocopies or photos on a phone are not a substitute for the original when verification happens at the office.

The classic mistake

The most common witness problem is simple: a witness arrives without their original ID, or does not arrive at all. Both can derail an otherwise-ready appointment. Confirm your witnesses and their documents a day ahead.

If you cannot arrange witnesses

Tell us early. Where couples cannot bring their own witnesses, we help arrange the practical solution so your appointment is not held up.
