Our office opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.

If you are registering a birth, death, stillbirth or notice of marriage or civil partnership, you will need to make an appointment:

• Most births and notice appointments can be made using our online register office booking form.

8 St Owen Street is the building next door to Hereford Town Hall. Our entrance is to the side of the building. From St Owen Street, walk through the alley between the Town Hall on the left and 8 St Owen Street on the right and the entrance is on the right hand side.

The car park at the Town Hall is only available pay and display on Saturdays, except for disabled parking. The nearest car park is Gaol Street car park a short walk away.

Directions to 8 St Owen Street, next door to Hereford Town Hall

If the door from the internal lobby does not open, please ring the intercom and a member of staff will facilitate access. Please take a seat in the waiting area when you arrive and the registrar will come and collect you for your appointment or ceremony.

You can order copy certificates online or you can order over the phone and select option 1.

If you are attending a citizenship ceremony, these ceremonies are held at the Town Hall not the Register Office. Access to the Town Hall is through the main entrance from St Owen Street or the accessible entrance at the rear of the building.

Ceremonies

Our statutory ceremonies take place at 9.30am each day Mondays to Thursdays only (except bank holidays). These are basic ceremonies with the couple, the registrars and two witnesses only. Please do not attend with any additional guests, as they will not be permitted access.

We are currently unable to accept new bookings for ceremonies at Herefordshire Council venues (previously these were offered at Hereford Town Hall and The Willow Room at the Register Office). We anticipate having a new ceremony room available from April 2026 onwards. More details will be added to our website when ready.

To book a ceremony at Hereford Register Office, please visit our ceremony booking page.

For more information about any of our ceremonies, or to record your interest in our new ceremony room in 2026, please email ceremonies@herefordshire.gov.uk
