Marriage in Australia

To be married in Australia you must be 18 years of age or older.

You need to lodge your Notice Of Intended Marriage form (NOIM) with your celebrant a minimum of one month before the wedding day.

If you lodge your NOIM form on 16th May the earliest date you can be married would be 16th June. 

The NOIM stays valid for 18 months after lodgement. 

I will need to see proof of person which is either your Original birth certificates with current photo id , which can be a drivers licence , proof of age card or your current  passport.  

If applicable I need to see your Original divorce document. If either partner to a previous marriage changed their name and then divorces, I need to see the original marriage certificate so I can see the paper trail showing name changes. This is a requirement of Australian law.  If there were more than one pervious marriage, I only need to see proof of the end of the last marriage.  

I will need to see Death certificate of past spouse if applicable. 

I will need the full legal names of your two (2) adult witnesses, who will be attending the wedding. Witnesses must be 18 years of age or older.
