Marriage officiant: Ceremony Law And Fees

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

8 of the 17 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 9 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 99 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction: who may solemnise (registrar, authorised person, ordained or online-ordained minister, independent celebrant and whether that ceremony is legally binding), the notice period and residency rule, the documents required, and every statutory fee - notice, licence, ceremony at the register office, ceremony at approved premises, certificate copy - quoted verbatim with its effective date; the comparison across jurisdictions (cheapest and dearest legal ceremony, longest notice period, where a celebrant ceremony is not a marriage) is the figure, and changed-since is the news each time a fee order is laid

99 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
