* The Notice Of Intended Marriage (NOIM) document is a legally required document, that will usually be completed by us together at our first meeting.
* If it is required to be completed before our first meeting due to time constraints, the relevant parts of pages 3, 4 & 5 of the form must be fully completed by you, including your signatures being witnessed by a relevant witness.
NB: I, as your Authorised Marriage Celebrant can witness you signing your NOIM remotely (via Video link) reducing the time and stresses of finding another authorised witness.
* The completed NOIM must be received by me as your Celebrant a minimum of one (1) calendar month prior to the proposed wedding date. To achieve this timeline, it may be emailed to me at [email protected], HOWEVER, the original signed document must still be received by me before the wedding can legally take place, as this is the document that I must submit to Births, Deaths and Marriages to register your Marriage.

*A NOIM expires after 18 months, so if your planned wedding date is deferred beyond this time, it will be necessary to complete another NOIM. As the completion and lodgement of this document is completely fee free, it is simply a necessary procedural legal process only.
*The ORIGINALS of the identity documents used for this document must also be sighted (and copied) by me before the wedding can take place. Unfortunately, The Marriage Act/Regulations exclude a Certified Copy as an Original Document, so I don’t make that dumb rule, but have to abide by it to ensure that your marriage is legal.
