    Your documentation which must be sighted by the Celebrant before the wedding:



    • A "Notice of Intended Marriage" must be provided to the Celebrant not less that one month and one day before the wedding date.


    • Evidence of Birth.


    • Divorcees:  In Australia, the Decree Absolute – an acceptable form from other countries.  Some countries do not permit divorce and Australia will not accept documentation from them.   If in doubt, please ask.


    • Widowed:  The Death Certificate.


    • Change of Name: The Deed Poll or Licence.


    • In case of under 18 marriage,  Permission from a Court may have to be obtained.
      You will need two people to act as witnesses to the wedding.
      A wedding ceremony must have a statement by the celebrant pointing out the importance of marriage and the couple must actually state their names and that they wed each other.
