FAQs'
How soon can I get married?
You’ll need to lodge a NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage) form at least one calendar month before the actual ceremony (e.g. signed on 15 February for a 15 March wedding). You can sign it up to 18 months in advance.
Who can marry in Australia?
You must both be 18+, not in a prohibited relationship (e.g. direct ancestor/descendant or sibling), free to marry (not currently married; previous marriages must have ended by death or divorce) and give real consent (from both parties).
I am not Australian. Can I marry here?
Yes. You do not need to be an Australian citizen. Tourists and visitors are all welcome to marry in Australia.
Do I need to live in Australia to marry here?
No. There is no residency requirement to marry in Australia. West Australia is a wonderful place to elope to!
What documents will I need?
A valid passport is ideal; otherwise, an original birth certificate plus driver’s licence.
If previously married, evidence of how the marriage ended (death certificate or divorce certificate).
Bring these to our first appointment.
What is the step-by-step process?
1+ month before: We meet and sign your NOIM together. (Bring ID and, if relevant, divorce certificate or death certificate of a former spouse).
Then we’ll decide what sort of ceremony you want.
2-3 weeks before: Confirm ceremony details, witnesses and location.
Wedding Day: ceremony, sign documents - married!
Within 14 days: I lodge your paperwork with Birth Deaths & Marriages (BDM).
2-4 weeks later: Your Official Marriage Certificate is available from BDM.
What about witnesses?
You will need 2 witnesses who are aged 18+ and who understand English competently. If you do not have any witnesses, I can arrange them for you, see add-ons.
If I have a legals only marriage, can I have a larger wedding later?
Absolutely. Many couples complete their legal marriage privately, then hold a larger symbolic Commitment Ceremony or celebration later.
How many guests can attend?
If I perform a legals only at my home office, a handful of guests is recommended. Any other location, you can have as many as the venue allows.
Can I get married outdoors?
Yes you can. The venue is entirely your choice so long as it is safe for everyone and that there is a Plan B in place for inclement weather.
What are separate consent meetings?
The law surrounding real consent has changed recently and I am obliged to ensure each party is consenting to the marriage freely. To do this, I will need to speak to each of you privately for a few moments. There’s nothing to worry about. We can do this at our initial meeting. These are simple, quick and relaxed chats where I take each of you aside individually and confirm your identity and your free, informed consent to marry.
