The thought of organising a wedding from overseas is daunting to most couples however the process is relatively easy. All couples must complete the Notice of Intended Marriage within the required time frames; the form can be downloaded from the Attorney-General’s website, or I will send you a link that you can fill in the information online. It is simply a matter of completing the form and having the signatures of both parties witnessed before a Notary Public or other authorised person outlined on the back of the NOIM.
The original form along with certified photocopies of relevant documents such as birth/death/divorce certificates are then mailed to me. The original of these documents must be presented to me upon arrival in Australia.
Both parties must produce copies of their birth certificates. Depending on your country of birth, it may be necessary to have your original birth certificate translated into English by a qualified translator. If you are unable to locate your birth certificate and you were born overseas, you are able to produce your passport as proof of birth. If you are born in Australia or New Zealand, you must produce your birth certificate.
In short Yes! If you wish to marry in a park or public place, ensure that your celebrant carries public liability insurance which is a pre-requisite of all Councils for celebrants conducting ceremonies in their venues. Also consider an alternate venue in the case of unforeseen weather conditions.
Now all the excitement of your wedding is over, you will probably have some time now to change your name to your married name.
Your celebrant would have given you a ceremonial certificate on your wedding day, however, this can’t be used for changing your name.
You can apply for your official certificate about two to three weeks after your wedding, from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (RBDM) in the state that you were married in. The certificate will then take up to four weeks to be mailed to you. The cost of the certificate is different in each state and you will find all that information on their website. Once you receive your Official Marriage Certificate from RBDM you will be able to start the process of changing your name.
You might like to retain your existing family name; or adopt your spouse’s family name; or adopt a combination of your family name and your spouse’s family name with or without hyphens.
Steps to changing your name
If you have any questions about this or need some advice about changing your name, feel free to get in touch.
Congrats and enjoy married life!
The first step in getting married is to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage form with your celebrant. The form can be lodged up to 18 months prior to the wedding, and no later than one month before the date of the marriage.
What does giving the notice ‘not later than one month before the date of the marriage’ mean?
The term ‘month’ is defined in section 2G of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 as follows:
(1) In any Act, month means a period:
(a) starting at the start of any day of one of the calendar months; and
(b) ending:
(i) immediately before the start of the corresponding day of the next
calendar month; or
(ii) if there is no such day—at the end of the next calendar month.
Example 1: A month - starting on 15 December in a year ends immediately before 15 January in the next year.
Example 2: A month - starting on 31 August in a year ends at the end of September in that year (because September is the calendar month coming after August and does not have 31 days).
