I've always said registry office and I'm certain the signs outside our local ones say registry office.

Just checked online for ours and it's listed as Registry Office. Just as well.... that's what I call it anyway.

I checked the gov.uk website last night , well it came up when I googled registry office so I thought that HAS to be correct and it says registration office for some and register office for others with registry office in brackets on all . So nobody is right and nobody is wrong in my opinion anyway as even the government don't know. Lol
