Important paperwork – Notice of Intended Marriage
A completed Notice of Intended Marriage must be given to your celebrant at least one month before the wedding. You can give it to your celebrant up to eighteen months beforehand.
Your celebrant can help you complete the form. The notice may be completed and witnessed outside Australia if required.
Talk to your celebrant if there is less than one month before your wedding. A prescribed authority may approve a shorter notice time in some limited circumstances.
You will need to give your celebrant evidence of date and place of birth, identity and the end of any previous marriages for each party. Your celebrant may also ask you to complete a statutory declaration to support your evidence.
Only an authorised marriage celebrant can legally perform your marriage.
