Child Naming Ceremonies
Following recent enquiries from members of the public, Dundee City Council and Dundee City Registrar are pleased to launch 2 new types of civil ceremony within Dundee Registration District. The new ceremonies are being offered for renewal of marriage or civil partnership vows and naming ceremonies for children.
The naming ceremony for children is a non religious ceremony that will allow parents to formally give their baby or child it’s forenames, before family and friends and is also an opportunity to publicly pledge their commitment to raising the child in accordance with specific values.
Child Naming Ceremonies may be held at any approved venue within Dundee Registration District. This includes most major hotels in and around the City, many prestigious Council buildings, all public parks and open spaces and even Dens Park football stadium. Equally couples may apply for a Temporary Approval (link required) to hold their ceremony in almost any location within the Registration District.
