A Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM) must be lodged with your Celebrant a minimum of one month and one day prior to the date of your wedding. This is valid for eighteen months. NIMs are available from me or you can download from the following site: www.ag.gov.au/celebrants. There are 4 pages to this document, including details on how to complete it. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully.
  • Birth Certificate (original or certified extract from Registrar of BDM)
    If you are born in Australia, this is the only document accepted. A foreign passport is acceptable if born overseas and your birth certificate is not available.

  • Decree Absolute, if you are divorced.

  • Death Certificate, if your previous spouse died.
If born overseas and your documents have been lost or destroyed, you can make a Statutory Declaration. I can help with this.


Both a Court Order and parents’ consent are required when one party is under 18 years of age. Under no circumstances may two people under 18 years of age marry each other.


Two people over the age of 18 must be present to witness your marriage and sign the Marriage Register and marriage Certificates.
