Important paperwork—notice of intended marriage
A completed notice of intended marriage (noim) form must be given to me at least one month before the wedding. you can give it to me up to eighteen months beforehand.

you will need to give evidence of date and place of birth, identity and the end of any previous marriages for each party. it may also be required for you to complete a statutory declaration to support your evidence.

On the day of your wedding, you will sign three marriage certificates. each certificate should be signed by you, myself and two witnesses. you will be given one of the certificates as a record of your marriage on the day.
your marriage will be registered with the registry of births, deaths and marriages in the state or territory it took place within fourteen days.
the certificate issued by the registry of births, deaths and marriages is required for many official purposes. you should apply for a copy of this certificate, after approximately three weeks, from the registry after your wedding.
