“We look forward to being part of your special journey and ensuring that your marriage ceremony is both legally binding and truly unforgettable,” the notice continued.
The new adjustments by the OAG are set to impact the outlook of civil marriages in Kenya which were more of official ‘unglamorous’ events at the Attorney General’s office. Civil marriages are conducted by the Registrar of Marriages, Deputy County Commissioners or Assistant County Commissioners.
Prior to planning for a civil marriage, one needs to ascertain whether it is under a notice or a special license. Recently, the Office of the Attorney General expanded its offices to 15 counties to ensure such services were more accessible to all Kenyans.
