1. What are the legal requirements for marriage in Australia?

a. A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) needs to be lodged with me at least one month before your wedding day.

I prepare the document and witness you signing it. To prepare the NOIM I need to sight your original birth certificates or passports. If either of you have been previously married, I will need to see an original Divorce Certificate or Death Certificate.

* If you require a copy of your Divorce Certificate (or Decree Absolute), contact the Family Law Court in the state in which the marriage was dissolved. More details can be found at Family Law Courts (family court.gov.au).
