I WANT TO GET MARRIED WITH A MELBOURNE MARRIAGE REGISTRATION WEDDING IN MELBOURNE.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Under Australian law it is mandatory that a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) – ‘Form 13 (Regulation 38)’ should be lodged with the celebrant no less than one month and one day, and no more than 18 months, from the proposed marriage date. If you are wanting a Melbourne Marriage Registration ceremony then it is simple for you to lodge your NOIM at the Wedding Bureau – Victoria, so that you can be legally married in as quick as one month’s time.

Your first step will be to lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage with one of the Registered Civil Celebrants at the Wedding Bureau – Victoria. In order to do this you will be required to either email or phone to make an appointment during business business hours which are generally between 10am and 7pm on Weekdays.  If the phones are busy during the day just leave a message and we will get straight back to you the moment our ceremonies or meetings are complete. During that appointment you can fill out all the details required on the Notice of Intended Marriage form and lodge this with the celebrant. It is also possible to send in your Notice ahead of your appointment time in order to start the lodgement process.
