For overseas residents

Couples can contact us directly for the "Notice Of Intended Marriage" form and must complete it in the presence of an Australian consular officer, an Australian diplomatic officer or a notary public.
This document along with copies of your birth certificates (or if these are not available copies of the passports of the country of birth) should then be posted to us to process at least one month and one day before the date of your ceremony.
If either party has been married before, evidence must be produced of the termination of that marriage.
