Before any marriage takes place your marriage celebrant must see the following documents:

Evidence of Date and Place of Birth: This can be a Birth certificate or a passport: These must be a Births Deaths and Marriages certified copy.

Photo ID: Driver’s Licence, Passport or Over 18 card

Evidence any prior marriages are terminated: This may be a divorce certificate, death certificate or annulment certificate (Court ordered, not religious).  It may be necessary to provide a ‘document trail’ of your name changes if you have been previously married, i.e. birth certificate, original marriage certificate and death or divorce certificate.

Change of Name Certificate: If you have changed your name via Deed Poll or through Births Deaths and Marriages, you must provide your ‘Change of Name Certificate’.

You may scan and email these documents or bring the originals to show me when we meet.

If any of the above documents are not in English, you must provide a NATI certified translation along with the original document.
