Official source excerpt
Quoted verbatim from the official source below. Ellipses indicate omitted text.
These Regulations revoke and replace the Immigration (Procedure for Marriage) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/15). They update the list of registered districts and also reflect the withdrawal of the requirement to seek the Secretary of State’s permission to marry following the Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 (Remedial) Order 2011(S.I. 2011/1158) by removing the provisions which set out how permission was to be applied for.
