 | A Notice of intended Marriage must be lodged with me no less than one month and
one day and no more than 18 months prior to the marriage being solemnised.
|
| Under normal circumstances the Notice of Intended Marriage would be completed
at your first meeting with me, but certainly before the marriage can be solemnised
and within the above requirements.
|
| I must see your original Birth Certificate. Persons born in Australia MUST produce
their birth certificates.
|
| Persons born outside Australia are also required to produce birth certificates.
However, in the absence of that document, they may produce their overseas Passport.
|
| If you have previously been married, then a copy of the Decree Absolute or
Death Certificate, whichever is applicable,must be produced.
|
| Prior to your wedding you both will be required to sign a declaration, under the
Marriage Act 1961, stating that you believe there is no legal impediment to the
marriage between yourself and your partner.
|
| You are required to have two witnesses present at the marriage who are both
over 18 years of age, to sign the Marriage Register and Certificates.
|
| Under the Marriage Act 1961 two persons under the age of the 18 cannot marry
each other.
|
| Any person under 18 must obtain parental consent and approval of a court of law.
Feel free to talk to me about this. |
