THE PROCESS AND PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS

Thankfully these days the paperwork is very simple to get married.

​

1. Contact me and book your date

2. Complete the Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM) this is the form all couples need to complete to be allowed to marry in Australia. I will make it for you as there are 2 ways to do this, with me or get a JP to witness your signatures and send to me. And only one party needs to sign the NIM if that makes it easier..  
   This needs to be done at least 1 month before your wedding date.

3. Documents that need to be sighted by me in person or electronically now -

   1. Original birth certificate or passport​

   2. If applicable original divorce papers or death certificates

   3. If not in english they need to be translated by (NAATI)

4. A non refundable booking fee of  $200 needs to be paid when we do the NIM (or transferred) to secure your date/time/venue with me 

5. Before ceremony do the last bit of legal paperwork  (sign a declaration)

6. You will need a witness each to sign the marriage register etc on day of the ceremony

7. After your ceremony I can apply for your marriage certificate from BDM.

Easy as 1, 2, 3
