Proving
who you are (Part 2) - Notice of Intended Marriage
by
Jennifer
Cram 21 May 2019 |

To
provide evidence of who you are and when and where you
were born, together with evidence that you are free to
marry again if you have been married before, you must
show your celebrant official documents.
These documents must be official originals – as issued
by the relevant government authority. This means they
cannot be:
- Laminated (lamination interferes with security
features and therefore renders the document invalid)
- Photocopies – even if they are JP certified
- Scans or photographs
The only exception is that if you got divorced in
Australia after 13 February 2010, when divorce
certificates changed to purely digital, you can forward
the PDF provided to you by the court to your celebrant
via email.
