Please ensure you have the following documents with you:
Confirmation of Booking form and Booking Fee
(if not already sent to Neal)
Notice of Intended Marriage - (NOIM)

(Download below and complete it, but do not sign - signatures must be witnessed by me). This document must be received by me no later than one month and one day prior to your wedding day.
Original Birth Certificates (If born outside Australia and Birth Certificates are unavailable, bring your passports) plus photocopies
Original Decree Nisi /Original Certificate of Divorce (If you have been married previously) plus photocopies

As from 1 July 2002, the Family Court and Federal Magistrates Court ceased issuing separate documents for a decree nisi of dissolution of marriage and a decree absolute. They now issue a document headed "Certificate of Divorce" which contains the date of both the decree nisi and the decree absolute. This certificate is evidence of divorce for the purposes of solemnising a marriage (see section 42(10)). If you were divorced prior to that date you will need to provide a copy of the decree absolute.
Note: Photocopies of documents will not be accepted.
Original Death Certificate (If you have been married previously and your marriage ended due to the death of your partner) plus photocopies
Full Names of Two Witnesses (must be over 18 years)
Notice of Intended Marriage Form (NOIM)

The NOIM should be printed, typed or handwritten in block letters with a black pen.

The NOIM must be lodged with Neal Foster, The Marriage Celebrant no earlier than 18 months before your marriage and no later than one month and one day before your marriage.

If you feel you have a valid reason for not being able to give one month’s notice, then you may apply for a shortening of time to a prescribed authority such as the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriage or your local magistrates court.
