Book a marriage interview
You can only book your venue and ceremony time at a marriage interview.
Interviews are done over the phone.
Prepare and submit your marriage documents
Before attending your marriage interview, you’ll need to submit:
- a completed Application for a Registry Wedding (PDF 631.08KB)
- a completed Notice Of Intended Marriage form (NOIM) (PDF 883.06KB)
- copies of an official birth certificate or passport for you and your partner
- copies of other current photo ID, if passport not provided
If either person has been previously married, you’ll need to provide proof that the marriage has ended, such as a:
- divorce certificate, if divorced
- death certificate, if widowed
It's important to email us your documents and interview reference number before attending your marriage interview.
Attend your marriage interview
You and your partner are required to attend the interview and your marriage documents must be submitted prior.
During this time we’ll:
- Review your Notice Of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and identity documents
- Discuss options for your ceremony and book your venue
- Process payments for your NOIM lodgement and ceremony
If either person is not fluent in English, you will need to organise for an interpreter to be in attendance.
After your ceremony is booked
Once your ceremony is booked you can start planning your wedding day.
You'll need to arrange 2 witnesses for your ceremony, and you may choose to exchange rings, or read personal vows in addition to the legal vows.
