You will have an opportunity prior to the ceremony to discuss your personal choices with the person appointed to conduct your ceremony. A certificate signed by the parents, supporting adults and the local government officer conducting the ceremony will be presented at the end of the ceremony. Although, these ceremonies have no legal status, they are simply something that parents can choose to do as a public gesture of love and commitment to their child. The record of the ceremony cannot be used as a legal document or as proof of identity. Neither is the ceremony legally binding on those who take part in it.

These formal ceremonies mark their new rights as a British Citizen, as they make promises to accept their responsibilities and duties. Renewal of Vows Ceremonies A renewal of marriage vows offers couples a personal ceremony to honour their married years together. Every renewal of marriage vows ceremony will be unique. Each couple is able to create their own personal ceremony by selecting their choices from the options available. Special people in the couple’s lives can be invited to take part, children, grandchildren, original wedding guests. Couples can be of any age and married for any length of time. 7 Your Guide to Civil Ceremonies in North Lanarkshire If you were married abroad and would like to celebrate back home with family and friends, this is an ideal way to bring everyone together. The ceremony requires the prospective new citizen to swear an oath or affirmation of allegiance to the Sovereign, and make a pledge to uphold the values and laws of the United Kingdom and encourages new citizens to play an active role in their local community. Two people will witness the signing of a commemorative certificate of the event. In North Lanarkshire, we aim to make the ceremony enjoyable and memorable, whilst maintaining the dignity of the event. The new citizen can celebrate their ceremony in the presence of friends and family, if they wish. If you have your own ideas and wish to add them to the ceremony, please discuss these with the person appointed to conduct your ceremony. The ceremony is attended by persons who will speak on behalf of the Community and on behalf of HRH The Queen. The renewal of marriage vows and any document issued following the ceremony have no legal status. The provost of the council or his representative will present the Certificate to each candidate at the end of the ceremony. New citizens will receive a welcome pack which includes information on their local community, a passport application pack and information on voting procedures. Following the ceremony, refreshments are available, and there is the opportunity to take photographs to serve as a permanent reminder of the event. Group ceremonies are normally held on the last Wednesday of the month. Ceremonies are held at registration offices throughout North Lanarkshire, and their location varies depending on the residencies of the prospective candidates. Provided we have received the appropriate documentation from the Home Office, we can at very short notice, arrange individual ceremonies at a time and a place to suit your needs.

The registration office is located at the east end of the main street and is situated on the first floor of a suite of offices.

Alternatively, there are many scenic areas in and around Cumbernauld providing ideal locations for photographs following your ceremony, including the grounds of Colzium House within easy driving distance. Cumbernauld lies at the centre of Scotland on the classic shortest route between Forth and Clyde. Cumbernauld derives from the Gaelic name Cumar-nan-Alt meaning the Meeting of the Waters. The development of road and rail transport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries highlighted Cumbernauld’s central position resulting in the establishment of a New Town in the late 1950’s. Kilsyth is approximately 6 miles north of Cumbernauld and lies in the Kelvin Valley with the Forth and Clyde Canal running nearby. Cumbernauld is centrally located between Glasgow and Stirling just off the A80. This accommodation is suitable for small intimate ceremonies with two witnesses. The Registration Office is situated on the ground floor within the Council Offices, Bron Way, Cumbernauld.

Kilsyth was originally spelled Kelvesith, meaning “Kelvin-lands” which is the area around the headwaters of the River Kelvin. The Estate is not only famed for its architecture, but also its impressive surroundings featuring the “Walled Garden”. Kilsyth is easily reached by following the A803 from Glasgow through Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch, and from there follow local signs for Colzium Estate. The building of the Colzium House mansion started in 1783 and considerable additions were made in 1861 by the Edmonstone family of Duntreath. Retired Town Clerk W Mackay Lennox purchased the house in 1937 and subsequently presented the “House and Policies” to Kilsyth Burgh in memory of his mother. Colzium House now incorporates a suite of community rooms and a small museum of local history. The room available for civil ceremonies can accommodate up to 50 guests. It is situated on the lower level of the house with French windows opening onto beautiful gardens. There is a separate waiting area for the principal party if they wish to be escorted into the room. The upper level contains a banqueting hall available for reception hire and larger civil ceremonies which can accommodate up to 100 people. This may be particularly appealing to parties wishing the convenience and simplicity of a ‘one venue ceremony’. Access to the ceremonies room on the ground floor is suitable for a standard wheelchair, however, banqueting hall access may cause difficulties for disabled guests. Motherwell steel fired by Wishaw coal, has taken part in engineering adventures the world over and it was, perhaps, in the natural process of things that two sister towns linked together by so much industry common to both, should amalgamate. Motherwell and Wishaw Registration District came into being in 1967. Previously both towns were separate registration districts known as Dalziel and Cambusnethan respectively. Motherwell The registration office is situated within the Civic Centre headquarters of North Lanarkshire Council. The entrance to the office is on Windmillhill Street on the main Wishaw/Bellshill Road, easily accessible via the M74 motorway. Motherwell railway station is a short taxi/bus ride away and there are bus stops located on both sides of the road outside the Civic Centre.

Parking is permitted for two principal cars at the front of the main entrance – this can be accessed by using the ‘Emergency Vehicle’ entrance.

Following your ceremony, photographic opportunities can be found in the gardens at the Civic Centre and also at various locations including The Duchess of Hamilton Park, Strathclyde Country Park and Belhaven Park.
