• a completed Notice Of Intended Marriage form (NOIM) (PDF 883.06KB)
• copies of an official birth certificate or passport for you and your partner

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.

If you've booked a phone interview, you will needs to submit these documents by email at least 7 days prior to the interview. 

If you've booked an in-person interview, you will need to bring the completed documents to the interview.

Instructions to assist you to complete these documents will be sent in your interview booking confirmation email.

You and your partner are required to attend the interview.

During this time we’ll:

• Review your Notice Of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and identity documents

• 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.
