Legalities
ensuring legal requirements are met
I will ensure that all legal requirements are met with minimum stress.
Your marriage will be solemnised according to the Marriage
Act 1961 which requires the following:
*
to be completed and lodged with me at least one month and one day before the ceremony and
no more than eighteen months prior. You cannot get married within Australia without giving one clear months notice. This time can
be shortened under some circumstances.
* Sighting of your birth certificates, or passport (if born overseas) and documentary proof
of any previous marriage (death certificate or final divorce decree). Consent forms are required if you are under 18 years of age.
* A declaration (I will supply you with the correct document) before your marriage stating that you are free to marry and are not
aware of any legal impediment to your marriage.
* Two witnesses at the wedding ceremony, each to be over the age of 18 years.
