What to bring on the day of your ceremony

Original documents

You must bring the original documents uploaded to our secure portal:

  • signed and witnessed NOIM
  • proof of ID for both partners, and
  • any supporting documents—if you were married before or provided translated documents.

If you don’t bring them, your ceremony may be cancelled or moved to another date.

Witnesses

You need 2 witnesses to sign the marriage certificate. They can be family or friends and don't need to be Australian citizens.

Witnesses must:

  • be 18 or older
  • understand and speak English
  • be at the entire ceremony.

We can't supply witnesses for you.
