A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form must be lodged at least one month prior to the planned date of marriage, and no longer that 18 months prior. Couples are supported through this requirement step by step.
When signing a NOIM form, couples are acknowledging that all the information provided is true and correct, that each party is not currently legally married, that they are not in a prohibited relationship and that they are of marriagble age. Couple will be fully guided through this process.
Both parties to the marriage will be required to provide an Original Legal Birth Certificate document and Drivers Licence/Proof of Age Card, alternatively a Passport is accepted.
If either party to the marriage has been previously married, evidence that the marriage has ended will be required by way of a Divorce Order or a Death Certificate.
Couples will be guided through these requirements.
Note: If ID documents are not in English, Couples will need to provide NAATI Certified Translated copies plus the original.
No.
In general, if the marriage is recognised as valid under the law of the country in which it was entered into, at the time when it was entered into, the marriage will be recognised in Australia as a valid marriage. This is the case whether or not the marriage involves Australian or non-Australian citizens. The Marriage Act does not provide for overseas marriages to be 'registered' in Australia. Whether an overseas marriage is recognised as valid in Australia is determined by the Marriage Act.
There are certain exceptions to the legal recognition of overseas marriage in Australia.
The Marriage Act provides that a marriage that is valid under the laws of another country is not recognised as valid in Australia if one or more of the following circumstances apply:
a) where one of the parties was already married to someone else
b) where one of the parties was not of marriageable age (note further information below about this exception)
c) where one of the parties are too closely related, under Australian law – that is, either as ancestor and descendant (including adoptive ancestor/descendant relationships), or as siblings (including half-siblings and adopted siblings), or
d) where the consent of one of the parties was not a real consent due to
i. duress or fraud
ii. mistake, or
iii. mental incapacity.
A marriage certificate issued by a competent authority in a foreign country is evidence in Australia of the occurrence and validity of the marriage. Couples should carefully retain their overseas marriage certificate as it may not be easy to replace if lost and it provides the only evidence of the overseas marriage. Overseas marriages cannot be registered in Australia.
Please note that it may not be possible to rely on a marriage certificate issued overseas for some purposes in Australia. A party to a marriage which takes place overseas may not be able to rely on an overseas marriage certificate to have an Australian driver licence or an Australian passport issued in their married name.
Couples unsure as to the validity of their previous marriage or marital status should seek legal advice.
As all our marriages & ceremonies are officiated in English, if either party to the marriage or their official witnesses do not speak or understand English, the Couple must arrange for an Interpreter at their own expense. Ballarat Marriage Registry must be notified a minimum of 3 weeks prior to the ceremony if an Interpreter will be required and relevant processes followed relating to legally required paperwork. Couples will be guided through this scenario.
