Overseas Couples Getting Married In Australia

If you're planning to visit Australia and get married in Sydney or any other location, here are the steps you need to follow:

Notice of Intention of Marriage:

Go to a Notary Public in your city or town with your Notice of Intention of Marriage form. You'll need to show your ID to have it signed and witnessed.

Alternatively, you can visit your Australian Consulate or Embassy by making an appointment with them.

Important Details:

This document is necessary whether you are an overseas visitor or an Australian resident.

It must be signed at least one month before your wedding.

The document is valid for 18 months, so it's a good idea to get it signed and mailed to your celebrant as soon as possible using registered post.

Tips for Getting Married in Australia:

Only an Australian Marriage Celebrant can officiate your wedding.

As an Authorised Marriage Celebrant, I can help you create your ceremony, finalise all legal documents, and have your Certificate of Marriage posted to your overseas address.

After signing the Notice of Intention of Marriage, scan it and mail it to my address in Balmain.

Can't wait to meet you!
