Notice of Intended Marriage Form
The first requirement before you may become legally married is for the completion of the “Notice of Intended Marriage” (NOIM). I will provide all legal forms that you will need when you are ready to register your intended date of marriage.
The NOIM must be filed with your Civil Marriage Celebrant:
No sooner than 18 months before the intended date of marriage.
No less than 1 month before the intended date of marriage.
Documents Required for Proof of Identity when signing NOIM
Specific documents are required for proof of identity when signing the NOIM in front of your Civil Marriage Celebrant:
Evidence of the date and place of birth of each party; i.e. full birth certificate.
Photo id; i.e. current passport, driver’s license.
If married previously; evidence of divorce of a party; i.e. Decree Absolute (prior to 1/7/2002) or Certificate of Divorce (after 1/7/2002).
Or evidence of death of a party’s spouse; i.e. death certificate.
