If you were married outside Victoria, contact the Registry office of the state, territory or country where the marriage happened.
We recommend you keep all Registry-issued documents safe and secure.

Getting married:
Organising a wedding can be both an exciting and daunting time. Here is some information intended to help ease the stress and make sure your wedding day goes smoothly.
Who can get married?:
In Australia any person aged 18 years or older, who is not currently married, can get married. A person who is between 16 and 18 years of age can marry, provided the other party to the marriage is at least 18 years of age. Where two people are under the age of 18 they cannot marry one another.
A person who is 16 or 17 years of age must obtain a court order from a judge or magistrate allowing the marriage, and written consent from both parents, before they can marry.
Notice of Intention to Marry (NOIM):
To get married in Victoria, or any other Australian state or territory, you need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage form (NOIM) and lodge it with the celebrant, minister or registrar who will perform the marriage. You must lodge the NOIM at least one month before your chosen wedding date, but no more than 18 months before.
You can download the Notice of Intended Marriage form from this website or obtain it from the celebrant or minister who will perform your marriage.
You can find more information about getting married at the Federal Attorney-General’s Department
