Requirements when Getting Married.
Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM)
This is the first legal step in getting married in Australia. Your Notice of Intended Marriage must be completed and lodged with your authorised celebrant at least one month before your wedding day (and no more than 18 months in advance).
Both partners need to sign the form in front of an authorised witness — such as a celebrant, Justice of the Peace, police officer, or lawyer — and provide original identification documents when submitting it.
Identification Requirements
Evidence of Date and Place of Birth
To confirm your details, each partner will need to provide either an original birth certificate or a current or expired passport (not cancelled).
Evidence of Identity
You’ll also need to show photo identification to verify who you are. This can be your driver’s licence, passport, or proof of age card.
Evidence of Death or Divorce
Evidence of Termination of Previous Marriage (if applicable)
If either partner has been married before, you’ll need to provide evidence that the previous marriage has legally ended. This can be a Divorce Order if you’re divorced, or a Death Certificate if your former spouse has passed away.
