A civil ceremony is non-religious. It normally takes around 20 minutes to complete. I offer an extensive range of ceremonies, poems and verses for you to choose from or you may like to compose your own ceremony.
You need to complete a "Notice of Intended Marriage" giving a minimum of thirty-one days notice prior to the date you wish to be married.(this is valid for eighteen months)
You will need to produce original copies of:
- a birth certificate for each person
- or if born outside Australia, a current Passport and Statutory Declaration or a Naturalisation Certificate
- if previously married a decree absolute for each person
- death of a previous husband or wife: a death certificate
All documentation needs to be in the English language
- persons intending to be married must be over the age of 18.
- if one party is between the age of 16 and 18 years old you are required to obtain the following:
- parents consent on the required form;
- a court order under section 12 of the Marriage Act;
The law requires that there must be two (2) witnesses present at the
ceremony and they need to be over the age of 18.
