Notice of Intent to Marry
Legal Requirements for Marrying in Australia
- Before you may marry, the law requires that you sign and lodge with me the Notice of Intended Marriage.
This form must be submitted to me a minimum of one calendar month and one day prior to the wedding. You can submit your Notice in person, via fax or mail, but you must bring the original Notice with you when you meet with me. The NIM form will remain active for 18 calendar months from the date of submission.
-
You must be over 18 years of age to marry in Australia
-
If you are Australian born you must show your birth certificate in English. If born outside Australia you are required to show your birth certificate or passport from your country of birth.
-
If either of you have previously been married you will have to produce your Divorce Decree Absolute papers and/or if either of your spouses are deceased, you must produce the Death Certificate.
- On the day of your marriage you must have two witnesses over the age of 18.
The link below takes you directly to a P.D.F download of the Notice of Intent to Marry Form.
You can fill out this form and bring it along with your birth certificate and other documents required and we can do the paperwork at our first meeting.
I will also help you complete the form face to face.
