Before your Wedding you will need to
complete a Notice of Intended Marriage Form (NIM) at
least one month and one day prior to your Wedding (I
would suggest earlier rather than later to secure your
date and time). It can also be lodged with me up to 18
months in advance of the Wedding (a Booking Fee is
required at this stage ~ the balance of your Fee is due
approximately two weeks prior to your wedding date when
you will also sign a declaration stating that there is
no legal impediment to your marriage).
The documents you need to supply are:
- If born in Australia ~ your Original Birth Certificate
(If you need a copy please contact Births Deaths and
Marriages in the State that you were born).
- If born abroad ~ your Original Birth Certificate or
Overseas Passport.
- If either of you have been previously married then
your Original Divorce Decree papers or Death Certificate
of a previous spouse. (If you need a copy of your
Divorce Paper please contact the Family Law Court in the
State you were Divorced).
- Any documents in a foreign language must be translated
into English and a Translation Certificate supplied.
Witnesses
You are required to have two witnesses
who are both over the age of 18 present to sign the
Marriage Register and Certificates.
